In a remarkable medical feat, AIIMS, Delhi, successfully separated conjoined twins Riddhi and Siddhi from Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly after a challenging 12.5-hour surgery. Diagnosed as 'thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins,' they shared fused rib cages, livers, and partially common diaphragms. The delicate procedure, performed when they were just 11 months old, required intricate steps, including dividing the fused organs and providing prosthetic tissues. The twins, who celebrated their first birthday post-surgery, showcased the resilience of human potential. With AIIMS achieving this milestone once again, one can't help but wonder: What groundbreaking advancements lie ahead for pediatric surgery, unlocking even more extraordinary possibilities?
