BEIJING: Conjoined twin baby girls have been released from a hospital in China almost three weeks after they were separated in a marathon operation, state media reported yesterday.
It took a team of 20 medical workers nearly 10 hours to separate the girls, who were joined at their livers, the official Xinhua news agency reported, citing doctors at a hospital in the southern region of Guangxi. One of the girls took their shared navel while the other may have surgery later to give her a belly button, according to a separate report by the government-run news portal gxnews.com.cn. AFP
