A team of doctors in Nigeria have successfully separated one-year-old conjoined twins.
Lead Surgeon, Emmanuel Ameh told the BBC the operation to separate ‘Goodness and Mercy Martins’ at the chest and abdomen took place in November and the two sisters are now well enough to go home.
He said the operation, which cost about fifty-five thousand dollars, was complicated and lasted for about 12 hours.
It involved 78 doctors who worked in two groups.
