Katherine Heigl's newly-adopted daughter underwent life-saving surgery to repair a hole in her heart when she was just two months old.
 
The Knocked Up star and her singer husband Josh Kelley finalized the adoption of 10-month-old Nancy Leigh from Korea last week (ends18Sep09), revealing their applications were fast-tracked because the tot has special needs.
 
Heigl explained, "They wanted to get her to us as quickly as possible."
 
Now the National Enquirer reports the baby - nicknamed Naleigh - had an operation soon after she was born to fix her heart defect.
 
A source tells the tabloid, "Doctors said the congenital heart defect had to be treated quickly to save the baby's life."
