Conjoined baby girls separated
Online Edition
Conjoined twins were released Monday from a hospital in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where they received separation surgery, sources with the hospital confirmed today.
Doctors at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University performed the separation on Aug. 8, about two months after the girls were born in a hospital in their hometown of Guiping City.
It took a team of 20 medical workers nearly 10 hours to separate the girls, who were joined at their livers, according to Yang Tiquan, chief surgeon and director of the hospital's pediatric surgery unit.
"The operation resulted in low blood loss, and the two girls are in stable condition," Yang said.
It was the first successful separation surgery on conjoined twins in Guangxi, Yang said.
The mother of the twin girls, Yue Juxing, gave birth on June 14 in Guiping, a county-level city in southeastern Guangxi. The twins were transferred a week later to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, located in Guangxi's capital, Nanning.
Social donations of more than 100,000 yuan (US$16,000) and medical aid from the hospital were received for the separation surgery.
