Australia: Surgeons at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne have successfully separated twins Krishna and Trishna who were joined at the head in an operation that lasted a little under 27 hours.
Head of surgery Leo Donnan said the operation had gone as well as could possibly be expected but stressed that the twins' ordeal is far from over with further reconstructive surgery to come.
Moira Kelly, the twins' legal guardian, reacted with joy and relief when she was told the good news. She wants to thank those who have offered support and wants people to "keep the prayers coming".
