Peruvian Physicians Separate Conjoined Twins · Global Voices
Gabriela García Calderón Orbe

Peruvian physicians accomplished an unprecedented medical achievement in the country: for the first time they separated two female conjoined twins who were born united by their abdomens and shared a little part of their livers. Baby sisters Shadya and Shandell Vásquez Vargas were born on February 26, 2013 and the surgery that separated them [es] was possible because they didn't share bile ducts nor their vascular systems.
