Fetal surgery firsts
The first open fetal surgery in the world was performed at UCSF in the early 1980s.

Dr. Jason H. Pomerantz is a plastic surgeon who specializes in pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgery, including the treatment of craniofacial anomalies (abnormalities of the head and face). He cares for adults as well as children with congenital or acquired deformities, such as cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis (a birth defect involving skull bones) and facial injuries.
In his research, Pomerantz focuses on tissue regeneration and maintenance by stem cells, with the goal of optimizing tissue repair and correcting deformities associated with development, injury or disease.
Pomerantz earned his medical degree at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He completed a residency in plastic surgery at UCSF, a postdoctoral research fellowship in regeneration biology at Stanford University and a fellowship in craniofacial surgery at the University of Washington.
