Kendra and Maliyah, born prematurely, have already beaten the odds, surviving and thriving for more than four years. They were born fused from the abdomen down, sharing one kidney and two legs. The surgical team of 11 had to divide and then reconstruct the twins' lower body including their large intestines and bladders. ABC News speaks to members of the operating team about the difficult surgery, including Dr. Rebecka Meyers, the head of the surgical team. ABC News also looks at another complication - Maliyah and Kendra are older than most twins who are separated, therefore they had to be prepared mentally for the difficult and painful surgery. Parents Jake and Erin say they told the girls everything their four year old minds could absorb about the process. |
