At the Cleveland Clinic, doctors performed an incredible surgery to save baby Rylan's life in the womb.
At 25 weeks pregnant, Sam Drinnon learned that her unborn baby had a tumor compressing the heart — and doctors would need to perform surgery to keep the fetus alive.
"It was hard. Even after the day we found out about him I had to go to work and take care of other people and act like nothing’s going on," said Drinnon, who works at a hospital."When in my head I’m like, 'I have this child in me that is very sick and could die at any moment.'" The surgery, which had only been performed successfully once before, presented plenty of its own challenges.
Dr. Hani Najm, chair of pediatric and congenital heart surgery at Cleveland Clinic Children’s, was the lead surgeon on the team. Upon learning about the case, Najm's first response was that"I could do this procedure, but you have to get me to that fetus in the uterus so I can do something about it," he said.To remove the tumor, the team had to surgically open Drinnon's abdomen and uterus.
