Conjoined Twins Separated

Daniel and Angela Formosa have thanked doctors after they successfully separated their conjoined daughters.

When Angela Formosa was pregnant, her doctors discovered that she was pregnant with conjoined twins. She was warned that the two girls may not survive the pregnancy. However the identical twins were born alive but were joined at the abdomen, where they were sharing part of an intestine. Only a day after their birth they underwent an 5 hour long emergency operation in order to separate them. It took 15 medical staff to perform it.

Thankfully it was a great success and doctors say that Rose and Ruby, who are now 12 weeks old, can look forward to a normal happy life.
