Moving photos of Siamese babies before and after their separation
At the age of just 4 months, two Siamese twins, Maria Clara and Maria Eduarda Oliveira Santana, underwent separation surgery in Goiânia, Brazil. The two girls shared a liver and an abdomen. They had no chance of survival. The operation which took place at the beginning of September was a success. It lasted over six hours and involved 15 medical professionals. The babies are now recovering in the hospital where photographer André Mateus immortalized their healing process. The shots are just amazing. The little girls are beautiful, and their parents seem so happy and relieved to hold them both together and apart after their surgery.
