Stockholm - A team of seven Swedish doctors have carried out the first open womb surgery in Europe to save a baby boy not yet born, medical authorities said yesterday.

Doctors at the Astrid Lindgren hospital in Stockholm opened the woman's womb and operated on the boy's throat, which had grown together, one month before he was due to be born.
