| Doctors to operate on baby with conjoined twin protruding from buttocks |
|
Advertisements [?]
 Doctors are to attempt to remove a conjoined parasitic twin from a nine-month old baby. 22 Jan 2009 Faith Mwampe has the feet of an unformed twin protruding from her buttocks, meaning she may never be able to walk unless it is removed. The Zambian baby, who was born in April last year, is set to undergo the five-hour operation at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka next Thursday. Her mother Mercy Lenganji, 18, faces an anxious wait as ten specialist doctors, led by Prof Lupando Munkonge, will try to remove the feet. The baby has already spent the past 26 days undergoing tests ahead of the risky operation. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/4314592/Doctors-to-operate-on-baby-with-conjoined-twin-protruding-from-buttocks.html |
