For 31 hours, surgeons, orthopedists, urologists, and anesthesiologists worked to separate the sisters, restore the organs, and redistribute tissues. Each girl received one leg and a separate intestinal tract. The outcome was successful: both survived and gradually began to recover. After the surgery, their life was not easy. Numerous rehabilitation procedures, medical monitoring, and constant…
The twins’ birth was a challenge for the family. Doctors immediately understood: to give the girls a chance at a normal life, they needed to be separated. However, the operation was extremely risky – both due to the complex anatomy of their bodies and their young age. When Charity and Kathleen were about seven months…
Charity and Kathleen Lincoln were born on February 21, 2000, in Seattle. Their case was extremely rare: the girls were connected from the chest to the pelvis.
