https://youtu.be/MPFCPOaM-AMIn a first-of-its-kind fetal surgery, UC Davis surgeons apply stem cells to the spinal cord of a developing baby with spina bifida. Spina bifida can leave people paralyzed from the waist down, but this novel treatment aims to reverse issues in a developing baby before it is born. In Part 3 of this Emmy winning documentary on the CuRe Trial from UC Davis Health, we watch as this historic fetal surgery is performed at UC Davis Children's Hospital and follow the mother on her journey to delivering her first child.
