BANGALORE, India, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Doctors in India have successfully operated on a 2-year-old girl born with four arms, four legs and extra internal organs, doctors said on Wednesday.
A team of around 30 medics removed what amounted to Lakshmi Tatma’s headless identical twin sister who was joined at the pelvis and who did not develop and separate properly in the womb — an extremely rare case.
“It went very well,” said Mamta Patil, a doctor involved in the surgery at Sparsh Hospital in Bangalore in south India. “She’ll be in intensive care for the next 48 hours.”
