## **Introduction**
In this groundbreaking episode of *Code Source*, we bring you the extraordinary story of Lisandro, a baby from Val d’Oise who was saved from a severe brain malformation through a pioneering in utero surgery. This remarkable world-first procedure, performed at Necker Hospital in Paris, remained a closely guarded secret for months until investigative journalist, Florence Merreau, uncovered the truth. Tune in to discover the incredible journey that unfolded behind closed doors.

## **Background**
The medical community was alerted to the possibility of in utero surgeries when news broke of a successful operation in the United States. The procedure involved operating on a baby in the womb to address a brain malformation known as Galien vein aneurysm, a life-threatening condition caused by the dilation of a crucial vein responsible for delivering blood from the heart to the brain[^1^].

## **Investigative Journey**
Florence Merreau, a health reporter for Le Parisien, stumbled upon an article in the American MIT Journal that hinted at a similar procedure having taken place in Paris[^2^]. Determined to uncover the truth, Florence embarked on an investigative journey with her colleague, Gael Lombard. What initially seemed like a dead end turned into a breakthrough when they received a response from the researchers, confirming that the operation had indeed taken place in Paris, and more specifically, at Necker Hospital[^2^].

## **Unveiling the World-first**
The operation performed in Paris had taken place even before the procedure in the United States, making it the true world-first in this groundbreaking field of medicine[^2^]. In conversation with Florence Merreau, the French doctors responsible for this medical feat shed light on the importance of discretion, emphasizing their desire to ensure the baby’s well-being before announcing their success[^2^].
—
## **Unprecedented Complexity**
Although in utero surgeries have been successfully conducted for other conditions, such as spina bifida, this operation in Paris marked a milestone due to its complexity. It was the first time a procedure of this kind had been attempted on the specific region of the brain affected by such a severe malformation[^2^].

## **Meeting Elodie and Marco**
In an exclusive interview, Florence Merreau speaks to Elodie and Marco, the parents of the baby who underwent the groundbreaking in utero surgery. Elodie, a nutritionist at Gonesse Hospital, and Marco, a commercial driver, share their emotional journey and the hurdles they faced on the path to their baby’s recovery[^2^].
