HA
GIANG - Conjoined twins, born here last
Sunday, have been transferred to the Ha Noi-based Central Paediatrics Hospital
for separation surgery, doctors at the northern province's General Hospital
said.
The
pregnant mother was first admitted to hospital in good condition, having
received few pre-natal check-ups previously. Doctors found the twin babies to
be conjoined and decided on surgery to save their lives.
The 4kg
twins have their chests and bellies attached, have two kidneys, one female sex
organ and no anus. They have normal arms and legs, doctors said, adding that
they were receiving special treatment due to weakness following birth.
As the
first such case in the province, it was the 21-year-old ethnic minority
mother's first delivery.
The
hospital board of managers and doctors supported her with VND5 million (S$300)
after the birth.
