A set of conjoined twin girls are heading home with their parents after a successful separation surgery that involved a complex six-hour procedure requiring a total of 17 specialists in fetal medicine at one of the largest children’s hospitals in the United States.
Ella and Eliza Fuller were born via planned cesarean section to parents Sandy and Jesse Fuller at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women on March 1. The babies were born at 35 weeks gestation and weighed an estimated 5 pounds 10 ounces (2.5 kilograms) each, according to a statement from Texas Children’s Hospital. They were conjoined at the abdomen and shared liver tissues.
