After a number of complex and risky surgeries, the doctors at Great Ormond Street hospital, London, have achieved a momentous `one in a 10million' success --- by separating 11-month-old conjoined twin girls with fused skulls!

The twin girls - Rital and Ritag Gaboura - were born in Khartoum, Sudan, to a doctor couple. Their parents, 31-year-old Abdelmajeed and 27-year-old Enas, flew them to the UK for the series of rare operations.

It was in four phases that the British doctors, led by Dr David Dunaway, carried out the surgery to separate the conjoined twin girls who were born with the rare condition of craniopagus. While two of the operations were performed in May, one was performed in July and the final one on August 15.

The funds as well as the arrangement for the twins' `separation' surgery were provided by `Facing the World' - a children's charity that the girls' parents had approached for assistance.

Commending the doctors for the successful surgeries, `Facing the World' confirmed in a statement that within days of the complicated procedures, the girls were "back on the general ward interacting and playing as before."

Further adding that the laughter and delight of the twins has served as an inspiration all through "the months of worry," the charity said that very soon, the girls' parents will finally "fulfil their dream of taking home two healthy, separate daughters"!
