The surgical separation of Moroccan conjoined twins Azizah and Saeedah started at King Abdulaziz Medical City of The National Guard here on Saturday morning in implementation of the order of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to perform the operation at his personal expense. A Saudi specialist medical team headed by Minister of Health Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabia' is performing the operation in seven stages expected to take nearly 15 hours. A medical check-up conducted on the twins showed that they were conjoined via liver, pancreas, liver-canals, a part of duodenum and upper part of small intestine.
