Surgeons, nurses and technicians applauded in the operating room after Carl and Clarence Aguirre were surgically separated, said Steve Osborne, a spokesman for the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Medical Centre in New York.
The operation, which continued for several hours after the separation, was completed at 8.20am yesterday, Mr Osborne said. David Staffenberg, the plastic surgeon, said the boys were “strong and stable”.
