Mysteries in Fetal surgery | Oluyinka Olutoye MD PhD | TEDxRVA

Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye’s curiosity led him to research scarless healing in the fetus and into the world of fetal treatment and surgery. He discusses the current status of fetal treatment, provides a glimpse into the future, and shares about his journey into this remarkable specialty.
Dr. Olutoye is a Professor of Surgery, Pediatrics and Obstetrics & Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine, and is Co-Director of the Texas Children’s Fetal Center at Texas Children’s Hospital, in Houston, Texas. He completed his medical education at Obafemi Awolowo University, in Ile-Ife, Nigeria and received his Ph.D. in Anatomy from Virginia Commonwealth University.
He has specialized clinical expertise in fetal and neonatal surgery, with specific interest in congenital diaphragmatic hernia and complex wounds. Dr. Olutoye’s research interests include topics like understanding the role of the fetal inflammatory response in scarless fetal wound healing and in utero correction of severe congenital malformations. In addition, he has participated in medical missions to Russia, Guatemala, Haiti, Malawi, Botswana, and Liberia. He is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, American Academy of Pediatrics and the West African College of Surgeons.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Amazing talent and wonderful advancement in research & technology that I wish was available in the early 80's. My late sis was born with spina bifida and presented with all the symptoms as described including hydrocephalus. I wish Dr Olutoye's time was then, but would still like to meet him nonetheless. The world is indeed blessed by what the likes of Dr Yinka are doing now and God bless the work of his hands.

[@robbinsnest6163]

He's such a great speaker and is doing amazing work!

Breathtaking!!!! It is clear to me that God loves him and has blessed his efforts!!!! Giving him special skills aaaaand humility!

[@kylerose6971]

The great work he has done is so uplifting. It hurts to see so little views and so little concern. As a society we used to back the Einstein's. Now it seems very little people care. We are blessed to have him.

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

What a brilliant man. Considering Trump has just restricted immigration from Nigeria, this man's home country, I would urge more of his supporters to watch this. We need many, many more people like Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, not less.

African doctors are the best, I'm saying this as a white guy from the UK, I know it sounds kinda counter-intuitive, many people think anything to do with Africa is means it's most low-quality it could possibly be, but african doctors are the best in the world 100%

Nigerians must resist the temptation to be parted into different countries. we are stronger together. No part of Nigeria can replicate the current experience of Nigeria, Not the Igbos, Not the Yorubas and certainly not the rest. I am saying this as an igbo man who as child was nearly killed in the jungles of Biafra .One Nigeria.

[@isaachp9673]

Wise man

[@dokorobia8713]

Why? We may not be able to reproduce Nigeria but even better nations. We maybe under a kind of union however it is imperative that we seperate. Whether we like each other or not, there will always be others who despise certain tribes. Also we know that our politics, law and government are at a point where corrupt individuals have all the power. We can't fix it with this system. We need to make new ones.

[@freddiejones2295]

America have hundreds of well trained Nigerian doctors. People in Nigeria sometimes have to go without medical care because they don't have money to pay the doctor. These doctors are well aware of how a good healthcare system works. They sometime return to Nigeria to give free treatments. They could serve Nigeria better if they return to Nigeria, set up and lobby for a healthcare system to serve the Nigerian people. They are in America making money and giving Nigerians a word overseas about well they are doing. Why not improve Nigeria's healthcare system ? Americans are doing okay.

[@bradharold4000]

The thing is that the Nigerian government is useless

[@rainyrainold]

Do they bill the mother's insurance, or the baby's?

[@zikimma]

mother's insurance it's still during pregnancy...

[@mosesm6040]

This one was actually free! It was the first ever made and the brave mom wanted by any means necessary to save her unborn child so offering herself without future consequences of suing this doctor and his team took that calculated risk! I guess the next patient will have to afford an astronomical fee to save her baby and herself. I am not sure if most normal insurance will allow this cost!
