RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (CNN) — A team of medical experts successfully separated Egyptian twin boys Hassan and Mahmoud on Saturday — the 21st procedure of this type to be performed in the kingdom, the nation’s leading surgeon said.
“The twins, almost an hour ago, have been separated for the first time in their lives,” said Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, who also is the Saudi minister of health.
The boys are less than a year old and were brought to the kingdom on February 10.
While the 15-hour delicate surgery has been declared successful, surgeons at the King Abdul Aziz Medical City in Riyadh are still in the finishing stages of the procedure, an operation deemed successful, Dr. Al-Rabeeah told CNN.
