SYDNEY – Doctors have announced that twins from Bhutan, separated one from the other and separated in an Australian hospital last week, were moving, eating and healing much differently.
Joe Crameri, head of pediatric surgery at Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, told reporters on Thursday that there were some bumps on the road, but 15-month-old girls were doing well.
The girls were tied from the lower chest to a little higher than the pelvis and shared the liver. They were separated during a delicate operation that lasted nearly six hours. A major challenge had been to rebuild their abdomen.
Crameri told reporters that the areas they handled during the operation seemed to heal well. He says the medical team is happy and the girl's mother is very happy.
