Conjoined Nigerian Twins Separated In USA by ogbonnacomfort: 4:46pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
Nigerian conjoined twin girls, Miracle and Testimony Ayeni, have been successfully separated at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. The twins which were reportedly joined at the lower half of the body were born in Enugu State on the 16th November, 2015. Their father, Samuel Ayeni and mother, Mary, are both from Kogi State, Nigeria. According to Vanguard report, the Founder of the Linking Hands Foundation, LHF, Mrs Efe Farinre disclosed that the highly complex and extremely risky procedure lasted for 18 hours early this month. Farinre in the statement explained that the girls would require further surgeries. According to the surgical team lead by Dr. Max Langham, conjoined twins occur once in 200,000 live births, with six percent of those being ischiopagus (joining by lower half of the body). see pictures here http://nowayobloggers.com/news/conjoined-nigerian-twins-separated-in-usa |
