Cork twins Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf are in a stable condition and making steady progress following their separation almost two weeks ago, London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital said today.
The boys, who were conjoined at the chest when born in December, were successfully separated during a 14 hour operation at the hospital on April 7th and 8th.
The procedure was carried out by Cork-born consultant paediatric Edward Kiely and a team of about 30 other doctors.
In a statement released today, Great Ormond Street Hospital said the twins remained in intensive care but were making progress on a daily basis.
