A pair of one-month-old conjoined twins were successfully separated in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province recently. The doctor stated that conjoined infants are extremely rare, with an incidence rate of about one in 100,000.

The conjoined twin sisters were born with their abdominal skin connected to each other, and they were using the same umbilical cord. In addition, the younger sister has congenital heart disease. Experts then decided to perform the operation when she gained more weight to 2,000 grams.

After a two-hour operation, doctors successfully separated this twin. The babies' abdomens are expected to look the same as normal people when they are recovered. Netizens felt happy for the twin as they will be fine, others also praised the doctors' masterly skills that saved the two young lives.
