After a rigorous battle by a team of 40 Indian specialist Doctors
to save formerly conjoined twins at a New Delhi hospital, success came at last
as the two girls were successfully separated. The information regarding this development
was disclosed on Wednesday by the hospital authority that had earlier
envisioned complication in the surgery operation.
The one-year-old girls from Nigeria survived an 18-hour operation,
even after their mother and the hospital authority appeared uncertain about
their survival.
“They were fused at their back when they came to us, which is
very rare,” paediatric surgeon Prashant Jain said, stressing on the
difficulties the hospital authorities foresaw before the operation.
“Usually the twins
are joined in the head or the upper body. It posed a huge challenge to our team
of doctors,” The Doctor, Jain said.
After the survival of the twins, Hussaina and Hassana, Malama
Badariyya Badaru, the mother of the twins, said she was delighted as she now
carries her daughters individually-unattached
Narrating the success story, Jain further said “It was all
nerve-wracking work. But it feels great to see them happy, healthy and
independent”.
“We carried out
rehearsals using dummies. All tubes, wires, injections and drugs were
colour-coded in pink or blue (for each girl) to avoid any mistake,” he said.
