The twin sisters recover and sleep for the first time in their lives after 15 months of surgery after a six-hour separation. Nima and Dawa Peldon, from Bhutan, were born united to the torso and have a liver in common, but as they grow up, it became difficult for them to sit at the same time and get up.
Last month, the twins traveled to Melbourne with their mother, thanks to the Children's Foundation of Australia. This week, two teams of 18 specialists from Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne carefully divided the girls' liver before separating them.

"We always thought we could do it," Crameri told BBC News. "But we just did not know what we were going to find."
