Saudi Arabia starts separation of Filipino twins Olivia and Gianna
The medical and surgical team in the Kingdom has begun performing the separation of the Filipino conjoined twins, Olivia and Gianna, at King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh. The procedure is expected to take approximately 8 hours and will be divided into six stages involving 22 specialists. The two-year-old twins are joined at the chest and abdomen, sharing the liver and a portion of the intestines, with one of them also suffering from congenital heart defects. This operation is the fourth of its kind within the Saudi program for conjoined twins, which has saved the lives of 158 twins from 28 countries across five continents since 1990.
