Doctors at Al-Hadbah Hospital, Tripoli have
successfully separated Siamese twins in one of the rarest surgeries in
Libya.
The hospital administration said the two-hour long
separation surgery took place on Wednesday, October 5, and was conducted by
Libyan surgeons. The 39-year old mother was admitted to Al-Hadbah Hospital on
September 30 to undergo a delivery operation for twin babies.
During the operation, the doctors were astonished
to find the twins were conjoined at the stomach and chest, and that their
livers were attached to each other. The delivery operation took one hour and
the mother was allowed to leave while the twin boys were kept at the Newborn
Care Unit for the separation surgery.
Their
health condition is stable now and they are expected to leave the hospital in
the next few days, doctors confirmed. View more to watch video...
