Doctors Successfully Detach Extra Head Attached to Stomach of Baby Girl
In a 90 minutes lifesaving surgery a team of doctors in India yesterday May 26, successfully detached the extra head attached to the stomach of a new born baby girl.
The baby girl had the head of her parasitic twin attached to her stomach when she was born to Amlekha Bairva, 22, at a small government-run hospital on May 13.
She was rushed to JK Lone Hospital, in Jaipur, northern India, the same evening.
The baby girl, was born naturally and weighed 4 pound, 8 ounces, but soon after her delivery she developed jaundice, which delayed surgery.
The baby who is is not expected to have any medical complications related to the parasitic twin as she grows up, is now under close observation in the neonatal intensive care unit at the hospital and will hopefully be discharged after a month according to NY Dailies.

Father Ramjilal Bairva, 29, is overjoyed the surgery was a success.
"I am very happy and thankful to the doctors and God for my daughter's successful surgery," he said. "I could not hold my baby before, but now I will be able to cuddle her.
"She is a very beautiful and I will make sure that she faces no problem in the future," he added.
Parasitic twins occur when a twin embryo begins to develop in the uterus but the pair doesn't fully separate. One embryo then becomes the dominant development at the expense of the other.
