Phew! Baby Born With 4 Extra Limbs Has Had A Successful Surgery

Thanks to medical science, a baby born with 2 extra hands and 2 extra legs in China is said to be in a stable condition after surgery during which the extra limbs were removed.

According to Globaltimes

The 10-day-old boy, from Huizhou, Guangdong Province, was born joined to a headless parasitic twin joined at the torso on April 2.

“They were supposed to be twins, but one had underdeveloped and became deformed,” said Yu Jiakang, chief surgeon at Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center.

The conjoined twins weighed just over three kilograms before surgery, with the removed parasitic fetus weighing 0.6 kilograms.

The infant was also diagnosed with pneumonia and congenital heart disease before surgery.
