Siamese twins born in Bogor

BOGOR: The Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) Hospital in Bogor has
formed a special team to handle the Siamese twin babies born in
the hospital on Tuesday.

The babies, both females, are joined at the chest and abdomen
or thoraco abdominophagus.

Dr. Agil Salim, a surgeon at the hospital, said the twins
share one heart, two lungs and one liver, but that they each have
normal intestines.

The babies weigh 5.6 kilograms and are 41 centimeters long.

The team was considering the possibility of performing an
operation to separate them. --JP
