Bhubaneswar: The separated conjoined twins, Jaga and Kalia, are recovering at a good pace, doctors treating them at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, informed on Wednesday.
The twins were seen playing with each other and their parents without the specially-designed protective gear provided to them during the skin grafting treatment.
The health condition of Kalia, whose recovery has been slower than Jaga, is also improving fast. Jaga, who was unable to walk properly following surgery, is taking steps without any support. They will be sent back to Odisha soon as the risk of infection has considerably reduced now, the doctors added.
The twins from Milipada village in Kandhamal district were joined at the head. They were successfully separated after an 11-hour marathon surgery at AIIMS New Delhi by a team of 30 specialists from neurosurgery, neuro-anaesthesia and plastic surgery departments on October 25 last year.
Odisha government had sanctioned Rs 1 crore for the surgery.
While conjoined twins are known to occur in about every 2,00,000 birth, craniopagus twins are rarer, accounting for about only 2 percent.
