Hope has been restored to this family after their conjoined twins who were connected at the chest and abdomen have been separated after an operation that has never before been successfully attempted.

Knatalye Hope and Adeline Faith Mata were born in Texas last April to parents Elysse and John Eric.

The couple, from Lubbock, were told that their twin girls would be conjoined and when they were born it was found their shared the same chest wall, lungs, pericardial sac (the lining of the heart), diaphragm, liver, intestines, colon and pelvis.
They underwent a complex 26-hour operation to separate them at the Texas Children's Hospital

Dr Darrell Cass, paediatric surgeon said: 'This is the first time a separation surgery for thoraco-omphalo-ischiopagus twins with this particular configuration has been successful.
'This surgery was not without its challenges with the girls sharing several organ systems.

'Our team has been preparing for this surgery for months and we’ve done everything from working with our radiology experts to build a 3-D model of their organs, to conducting simulations of the actual separation surgery.'
The girls are now being cared for in the hospital's paediatric intensive care unit, where they will recover for the next couple of months.

There is no date for their release from hospital as it is thought they will have to undergo additional procedures in the future.
