Mother Zabeeda and father Mohammad Hameed,
from Srinagar, in Kashmir, northern India, are now overjoyed to have
two healthy daughters.
Zabeeda, who
already has a three-year-old boy, said: 'I am overjoyed the surgery has
gone well. It was my only wish to have my two beautiful daughters
healthy and my wish has been granted.'
Dr Neelam Mohan, Director of the
Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Liver
Transplantation, at Medanta – The Medicity Hospital, said: 'The surgery
has been a success. We had a team of 30 staff and eight were at the
operating table working on the girls.
'The
biggest challenge was separating the livers where the blood vessels
were joined which increased the risk of severe bleeding.
'There was also a danger the livers wouldn't function again in the future.
