Xinhua, August 16, 2015 Adjust font size:

Doctors at a private hospital in Colombia successfully separated two conjoined twins on Saturday.

The two boys were joined at abdomens but were successfully separated after a procedure lasting six hours at the San Vicente Foundation hospital in the northern city of Medellin.

Dr. Juan Pablo Guerrero, director of the pediatric hospital, announced that the two boys were in stable condition and recuperating in the intensive care unit.

The babies were born in the northeastern department of Choco a week ago and were brought to Medellin on Friday for surgery. Endi
