Head-joined twins partially separated in India's 1st surgery
In India's first attempt to separate twins joined at the head, AIIMS doctors have reported the successful completion of the first phase of surgery. In the 20-hour procedure, surgeons performed a venous bypass to separate the veins shared by the two-year-olds and make an alternative channel. Notably, only 50 such surgeries have been completed worldwide with less than 25% success.
