Cojoined twins were to have repeatedly survived an intense operation lasting 27 hours to separate them, Newspremises gathered.

The 9-month-old adorable sisters, identified as Elizabeth and Mary, joined at the hip left Cameroon for Turkey for the operation joined together but have now been separated seven months later.

The girls' mother has praised the "extraordinary" medical team in Istanbul, Turkey's capital, who carefully planned the operation on 3D models before getting to work on the girls.

Their parent alleged that, the girls who came out the womb attached were living in pain which led to them seeking medical help.

But after seven months of planning and a final 27-hour operation to separate the conjoined twins, both girls have been discharged from the hospital in Istanbul.


The twins' father identified as Richard Akwe said:

"We were very saddened by the thought of our babies not being able to move around freely and that they were hurting.

We were also saddened by the crying of our little girls when they were hungry while my wife tried to breastfeed them one by one, but they were a gift to us and we are dedicated to taking care of them in the best way possible."

The girls’ mother Anne Caroline Akwe told a news conference: "I was very very happy, for seeing Elizabeth and Mary being separated and well without not any complications.

"Despite the many difficulties, I breastfed my babies for a year while they were conjoined.

"We never lost hope that they would be separated and live in good health. And that dream came true with the extraordinary effort and success of the Turkish doctors.

After the 27-hour operation, neurosurgeon Dr Memet Ozek said:

"The separation of the lower part of the spinal cord was a problem in the eight-and-a-half-hour separation process. Why was it a problem?

"Because it involved four important functions: the movement of their feet, their control of the urinary tract, being able to control defecation, and to prevent a problem in their future sex life.

"Each one had its own unique set of problems. After surgery, the aim is to keep them protected.”

Lol, funny how things like this are never solved or done with prayers, one has to do surgery, even though you folks claim that faith move mountains.
we are not talking about faith here... but i will put it to you that without the aid of God mercy, many surgeries will not be successful.
i guess u want to tell me or make me believe the surgery was done and successful without God intervention.

[quote author=Draggun post=107294038]Don't be ignorant. It happened in an hospital, not a church. Thank the surgical team.

i believe you must know that God is everywhere, except you choose not to believe it.
but you know

So, who crated the team of surgeons and gave them the knowledge? I guess they also evolved through the theory of evolution, loolz. I'm still waiting to see human evolve into angels or an ape change to man in this generation cos evolution is supposed to be a continuous process grin
Don't get me wrong, I believe so much in God but it is important the surgical team are given their due credit.

If you were intelligent, u would know that evolution took millions and billions of years, couple with a changing environment.

Ape did not also change to man, but man and ape has a common ancestor which no longer exist. This is why human n Ape share 92 percent DNA.

Also evolution is still taking place, not in the way u imagine it, it's a gradual n very slow process. U can't see a noticable change in one life time.

This may seem ridiculous to you but so is ur religion.

U think it's absurd for the earth to exist without a creator, but u conveniently believe a creator exist without a creator.

U believe a creator exist and created everything out of nothing but made a woman from ribs(bone), how weird.

No am not intelligent.

Ape didn't also change to man lool.

In that case, where was your homo erectus, homo habilis and homo sapient warped evolution drawn from then? Confused human being . So you were there millions of years ago when ape evolved into man since it takes so long for this to take place according ro you, Mr intelligent?

Your utopian theory is the weirdest thing ever heard of.

No matter how hard I try to explain u will never understand, humans hate what they don't understand.

It's just funny you think evolution is stupid but woman coming from a man's bone makes total sense.

Or maybe if your god had created those babies the normal way, there wouldn't be need for surgeries that costs millions. Huh?
Doesn't that seem smart?
Also, aren't your pastors claiming to heal sicknesses and diseases, why is this one different? Why haven't any of them attempted to perform miracles on children which such conditions?

I'm more informed than you think. There's nothing like evolution Mr intelligent and that's the point I'm proving to you. Even if this world exists up to 1 trillion years more, man will still be man , while animals will remain animals the way God had made them.

FYI, God exits and He communes with me personally, same way He does to those who seek and are closer to Him. The onus is on you to search for Him. He's closer than you think, in your benefit.

So who created the conjoined twins. Why would a loving God create innocent babies joined at the hips. What sort of life was expecting them to live

When u start hearing those voices again, visit a psychologist because you are mentally ill.

And informed person will not believe in fairy tales while disbelieving facts.

You are deformed and probably sick too.
