Malaysian doctors successfully separate 40-day-old conjoined twins

Malaysian doctors have separated conjoined twin boys joined at the lower spine. The premature brothers underwent the complex operation on September 17 at the Sabah Women and Children's Hospital, when the babies were only 40 days old. According to the hospital's statement released this week, the children remained under constant supervision of doctors and received specialised medical care. The twins were born with a rare pathology called pygopagus.
