A woman surprises Taipei Medical University doctors by naturally giving birth after uterus surgery (2014/09/09)
Now we turn to a new major achievement in Taiwan’s medical world. A 36-year-old woman has given birth following an unusual surgical procedure in which her uterus was split into two parts in order to remove a tumor. The woman underwent surgery three years ago, and in spite of a difficult recovery, she recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
Ms. Hsu and her husband, Mr. Zauner of Germany, show photos of their newborn baby son. For this couple, a second pregnancy and a successful birth following the surgery has been nothing short of a miracle.
Ms. Hsu New Mother It was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise. We never expected that I would become pregnant again. My uterus had such a large wound [because of the surgery], and I actually never expected to become pregnant again through natural means.
When Ms. Hsu first became pregnant with her daughter three years ago, a 3.5 kilogram fibroid tumor was discovered in her uterus. Because of the tumor, Ms Hsu’s doctors performed a caesarean section for the birth of her daughter and then immediately performed additional surgery to remove the tumor, which required splitting her uterus into two parts.
Liu Wei-min Taipei Medical University Hospital At the time, my assistant was scared. They asked how are we going to deal with this situation? To be honest I wasn’t so sure myself because it was not something one can just look up in medical literature. There’s nothing that tells you what to do when splitting a uterus into two parts.”
Thanks to the courage summoned by the Taipei Medical University medical team, Ms Hsu not only became pregnant again, she gave birth to a healthy baby. Not only was this a miracle for Ms. Hsu and her husband, it was an achievement for Taiwan’s medical community.
