Conjoined Twins Successfully Separated For The First Time in History

Knatalye Hope and Adeline Faith Mata were born in Texas last April and were welcomed by parents
Elysse and John Eric. The twins were born joined together and connected by chest and abdomen. They have been successfully seperated and this happens to be the first time it is ever done

When the twins were born, it was found their shared the same chest wall, lungs, pericardial sac (the lining of the heart), diaphragm, liver, intestines, colon and pelvis.

A team of more than 26 clinicians, including 12 surgeons, six anesthesiologists and eight surgical nurses who assembled at the Texas Children's Hospital operated to separate the 10-month-olds.

The 26-hour surgery was the first time twins conjoined at the chest and abdomen in this way had been separated successfully.
Wao congrat to them.
