Two-and-a-half-year old former Siamese twins in Kenya, Blessing and Favour have finally re-united with their family, after they were discharged this week.
According to NTV Kenya, the twins who were conjoined at the lower back of their spine have spent the first two years of their lives in hospital.
They shared the anal canal, the cerebral fluid, pelvic and pelvic organs and the bowel.
Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) surgeons waited to allow development of key organs and also enable them to gain appropriate muscles to withstand their successful 23-hour separation surgery in November last year.
After their surgery, the medics still had to wait for the wounds to heal to do other four reconstructive surgeries.
The four surgeries successfully undergone included; reconstructing their children’s skins, genitalia, anal canal and bowel in subsequent operations.
Their condition took doctors at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) almost one and a half years to study, The Star, Kenya reports.
Notably, Kenyatta Hospital management organised a celebratory dinner on Saturday in honour the 60 specialists who have separated the two girls.
Consultant Paediatric surgeon Fred Kambuni has told Kenya Journalists that the babies would need to be reviewed after every three months to assess their progress.
