A һoѕріtаɩ spokesperson said: “The bowels needed to be ѕeрагаted as well as their urinary systems and then the pelvic bones.

“When they were ѕeрагаted they were then divided into two teams to reconstruct the twins.”

This separation is the 35th in a series of surgeries performed on conoined twins in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 1990.

Saudi Arabia has a team of top surgeons who have treated 65 twins from 18 countries across the globe.
