Surgery on conjoined twin successful
Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: It looks like two-year-old Lakshmi, the eight-limbed girl from Bihar, may finally be liberated from her parasitic twin.
The toddler was brought to the Sparsh Hospital at Narayana Health city here from a remote village of Araria in Bihar.
The team of doctors operating on her are happy with the results of the procedure on Tuesday and are hopeful that the surgery will be over well ahead of the stipulated 40 hours.
Dr. Yohannan John, senior anaesthetist, said that the doctors operating on Lakshmi are now reconstructing her pelvis and hip region. Lakshmi is a unique case of conjoined twins: she has two bodies united at the pelvis but only one has a head and the other is a parasite.
