Unlike ordinary babies, who can turn over, crawl or stand on their own, they came here on June 9, 65438, and underwent segmentation surgery at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital on March 3, 65438. After nearly 1 month of nursing and rehabilitation, they will be discharged from the hospital and returned to China.
Before the operation, Jenny and Jenny's little sister were connected in the abdomen, but through ultrasound and computed tomography, it was found that all the organs except the liver were independent. Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, which has twice divided conjoined twins, evaluates the success rate of the division operation for Miss Sister.
Two-stage operation: first implant tissue skin, and then segment.
Vice President Chen Peirong, the convener of the medical team, said that cesarean section was not simply a split in two. If you cut the skin directly, it will produce a large cavity, which is very dangerous. So we should cultivate the empty shell first. Therefore, the team performed the first stage operation on October 20th, 65438/KLOC-0, and implanted a tissue expander in the abdomen. After that, the normal saline solution of 14 thorn and * * * * 410c.c was continuously injected within 7 days, which widened the distance between the two babies' connecting parts and cultivated 90 square centimeters of skin to cover the incision cavity.
