Italian doctors have successfully
delivered a baby who had been carried during pregnancy in a
herniated uterus - a womb inside a large hernia outside the
abdominal cavity, Turin's Città della Salute (Health City)
hospital complex said on Saturday.
It was considered a very high risk case
Indeed, the Città della Salute said there had only been 16
reported cases of full-term pregnancies in a herniated uterus
worldwide in more than 50 years, adding that "not all of them
ended with a good outcome'.
It was the 43-year-old mother's fifth pregnancy.
