Conjoined twins attached at the stomach separated after 11-hour procedure in Texas

A pair of conjoined twins at the stomach endured an 11-hour procedure as they were finally separated in Texas.

Sixteen-week-old AmieLynn Rose and JamieLynn Rae Finley are omphalopagus twins, meaning they are joined at the stomach and share one or more organs which in this case was the liver. The girls were attached from the breastbone to their belly button.

The surgery was carried out at Cook Children's medical Center, where a team of 25 medical staff, including six surgeons, performed the intricate procedure on Monday.
