In Israel, a rare and extremely difficult operation was performed on one-year-old twin girls who were fused with each other at birth.

The 12-hour operation took place at Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheva. It was attended by Israeli specialists and specialists from abroad, according to the BBC.

Preparations for the operation, which included scalp transplantation for both patients, took months. During this time, inflatable silicone bags were inserted into the heads of the girls, which periodically expanded to stretch the skin.. This skin was then used to cover their heads after skull reconstruction..

" Fortunately, everything went as we had hoped, "

Now both patients feel well and can already breathe and eat on their own.. Girls are expected to be able to lead full lives after separation.
