The conjoined twins' separation surgeries always make me proud of our country because
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world which make these kinds of dangerous surgeries
and gives hopes for many conjoined twins around the world. In December, 1990, the first
successful surgery was done for Saudi female twins,whom were conjoined in the abdomen
and the liver. This surgery took the Saudi team who did this operation only four hours.
After this success, the president of the medical team, which does the surgeries, Doctor
Abdullah Al-Rabiah, the minister of health in Saudi Arabia, and his team continue their
success in doing these surgeries. They have helped children from different parts of the world
such as Egypt, Sudan, Malaysia, Poland, the Philippines, and others countries.In February,
1992, the second successful operation did for the Sudanese twins Samah and Heba, whom
were conjoined in Chest, abdomen and pelvis, and have three shared legs.This was just the
beginning; nowadays, Saudi Arabia has the best experience in this field with sixty-three
cases from seventeen countries, of which twenty-eight were successful and the rest were
not eligible to separate. Additionally, all these surgeries were covered financially by King
Abdullah and the Saudi government, and all future surgeries will be covered, too.
