Doctors at a hospital in HCM City are seeking ways to separate two baby girls who were born sharing the same belly and anus.
The twins were born in the 33rd week of pregnancy at Hung Vuong Hospital on June 7 after doctors found that they faced slow development and risk of fatality.

Following consultation, doctors decided to conduct surgery to ensure the safety of both and their mother. However, unluckily, the babies share the belly and anus and had been moved to the city Children’s Hospital’s intensive care room.
According to the doctors, the children are now in critical condition and they are going to hold another consultation for an operation to separate them.
Meanwhile, the mother is being cared for at Hung Vuong Hospital.
In 2017, doctors in HCM City successfully performed an operation to separate two baby girls who were born sharing the terminus of their spines.
