Conjoined twins, who were successfully separated following surgery, in stable condition

The surgical team at Hospital Tunku Azizah (HTA) in Kuala Lumpur made history when they conducted the first successful separation of premature conjoined twins in Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR: The premature conjoined twins who were successfully separated through surgery at the Hospital Tunku Azizah (HTA) here are in stable condition, although they still require respiratory support.

HTA paediatric surgery consultant specialist Datuk Dr Zakaria Zahari said this was because the conjoined twins were premature babies and the breathing aid would be needed for another three to four days.
