Pediatric surgeon Professor Agostino Pierro, who led the surgery, said that the twins had to be operated upon immediately as there was a risk of intestinal blockage. “The operation to separate the twins had to be performed as an emergency because of an intestinal blockage. We are delighted with the outcome of the operation. The babies will need further treatment in the future, but we expect that they will both be able to lead happy and normal lives”, Professor Pierro said.
