A team of Italian doctors has separated four-month-old Greek twin girls joined at the temple in a rare 12-hour operation, a medical source said on Sunday.
“The operation on Saturday seems to have been a success, but we will have to wait four or five days to be more certain,” the source, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters.
“The twins are doing well in intensive care, and are awake,” he added, giving no further details.
He said the operation at the private Policlinico Agostino Gemelli in Rome was perhaps less complex than surgery that began in Dallas on Saturday to divide the circulatory systems of two-year-old Egyptian twins joined at the crown of their heads.
