| A team of surgeons at the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Sevilla has successfully separated two Siamese sisters born three weeks ago joined at the abdomen.
The eight-hour operation was performed simultaneously in two operating theatres by a team of 36 specialists, and the two babies, who can now look forward to totally independent lives, are recovering satisfactorily in the Neonatal department's intensive care unit.
Regional Health minister, María Jesús Montero, has organised a press conference later today so that the surgical team can provide further details about the operation. |
