Separation of Filipino twins Olivia and Gianna underway
A medical and surgical team in the Kingdom has begun the operation to separate the conjoined Filipino twins (Olivia and Jiana), who are two years and two months old, under the leadership of Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah at King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital in Riyadh. The multi-stage procedure is expected to last approximately 8 hours and includes a detailed examination of the twins, skin extension procedures, surgical separation, and diagnosis of their health conditions. This is the fourth such operation for the Philippines within the Saudi program for conjoined twins, which has conducted over 150 surgeries since 1990 for nearly 28 countries across five continents, with a success rate exceeding 70%.
