One-year-old twin girls who were born conjoined at the back of their heads have seen each other for the first time after undergoing rare separation surgery in Israel.
The 12-hour operation at the Soroka Medical Centre in the city of Beersheba last week took months of preparation, and included the scalp grafts for both.
Dozens of experts from Israel and abroad were involved.
The girls, who have not been named, are said to be recovering well.
"They are breathing and eating on their own," Eldad Silberstein, the head of Soroka’s plastic surgery department, told Israel’s Channel 12 news.
It is the first time such an operation, which has only been conducted 20 times worldwide, has been performed in Israel.
