“The conjoined twins, who were connected by the abdomen, the liver and the lower part of the chest, are in good health four days after the surgery,” Talbi who supervised the surgery told MAP.
The resuscitation protocol of the twins has been completed, he said, adding that they will be handed over to their parents tomorrow (Tuesday) or the day after.
The separation surgery of the conjoined twins was postponed until they were two months old so that they could tolerate the four-hour procedure, the pediatric surgeon explained.
The surgery was performed using existing technology at the hospital, which made it possible to successfully separate the liver (…). The same is true for the lower part of the chest, which was separated without any problem, the doctor said.
The success of this operation, the second of its kind at the Children’s Hospital of Rabat, was made possible thanks to the combined efforts of surgeons, anesthesiologists, resuscitators, nurses, and the entire medical staff who supervised the intervention.
