The siamese Nima and Dawa Pelden, 14 months, hope that their evaluation was positive, in order that the doctors separate them since they were born together from the thorax and the abdomen.
The babies and their parents traveled to Australia, where experts carried out a series of tests to determine when and what the surgery will be to separate them: “We want to make sure that everything is OK in general,” said anesthesiologist Ian McKenzie, from the team of specialists from the Royal Children’s Hospital of Melbourne where the complicated surgery will be performed.
According to the local network SBS, it is likely to take place this week and would last 8 hours. It will also cost around $ 217,000, which will be donated by the Children First Foundation.
The twins were born by caesarean section on July 13, 2017, in a remote region of Bhutan, becoming the first known Siamese twins in that country.
