Conjoined Twins In Mumbai

For Seetal Zalte and her husband Sagar Zalte, the 13 hours they spent outside an operation theatre in city-based BJ Wadia Hospital on Tuesday seemed endless.

The conjoined twins, who were under observation at a civic hospital in Mumbai for three weeks after their birth last month, have been discharged as their mother continued to oppose and raise apprehensions about their survival if they undergo a separation surgery.

The conjoined twins born in a civic-run hospital here last month are unlikely to undergo surgery to separate them anytime soon following apprehensions expressed by the mother about survival of the babies.

In a rare case, a woman gave birth to conjoined twins, having two fully developed heads joined from above the chest and three arms, including a third arm protruding from the back, a doctor said.
