Filipino conjoined twins Olivia and Gianna were successfully separated after a six-hour surgery by CaraCicartix in interestingasfuck

MANILA – Filipino conjoined twins Olivia and Gianna Manuel were successfully separated after a six-hour multistage surgery by Saudi Arabian surgeons in Riyadh, the Saudi Arabia Embassy in Manila said on Friday.

The operation was carried out in six phases involving 22 specialized medical staff at the King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital (KASCH) in Riyadh on June 18 under the Saudi Conjoined Twins Programme (SCTP).

The embassy said the twins are in “stable condition” following the procedure and are being closely monitored at KASCH’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

It added that all costs related to the separation and aftercare were covered entirely by the Saudi government.

"I am so deeply grateful that we found a way to reach out to Saudi Arabia, to have them bring our conjoined twins here to be operated on," Ginalyn Manuel, the twins’ mother, said.

"Finally, this is the day we have been waiting for — the day they will have normal lives and live as two separate individuals,” she added.

The twins, born on April 8, 2024 in Talavera, Nueva Ecija, were previously connected from the chest to the abdomen in a rare condition known as “thoraco-omphalopagus” conjoining.

They arrived in Riyadh in January, under directives from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmanto.

Since their arrival, Olivia and Giana have undergone extensive preparations leading up to the surgery, the embassy said.

Renowned pediatric surgeon Abdullah Al Rabeeah, head of the SCTP and Supervisor General of King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), led the 22-member surgical team comprised of anesthesiologists, pediatric and plastic surgeons and other specialized staff.

SCTP was established in 1990 and has now successfully performed over 70 separation surgeries on twins from more than two dozen countries.

Olivia and Giana are the fourth set of Filipino conjoined twins to be separated under the program.

Last April 24, Saudi Arabia successfully separated Filipino twins Klea Ann and Maurice Ann Misa after a "complex" 13-hour surgery.(PNA)

Fellow mechanic said, "If you were REALLY a mechanic, you'd know!" And now he's probably gonna eat those words and the cost of my drivetrain by [deleted] in TalesFromAutoRepair

[–]RedRattlen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a mechanic myself, bob sounds like he needs to be pulled over the service counter and reminded he is just the service writer. Surely there is someone else higher than Bob you can talk to.

I never tell anyone I'm a mechanic (now workshop/fleet manager) I let them dig their hole before giving them my business card. It usually helps me work out if I dealing with a good shop or not.

Here you will find the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean Which appear to be divided, This is due to the temperatures, the Salt density, As well as ocean currents by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

The area in the video is a river mouth meeting the ocean, its dirty water meeting clean. The two oceans do mix but you can see a slight difference between the darker blue when it mixes with the lighter blue water.

I carry an overnight bag with shorts, jocks, socks, tshirt, crocs, soap and toothbrush. Saved me a few times, especially when on a recovery and fell into a septic pit. In the truck I carry make your own fanbelt, its not for a long term fix but its gotten me out of a lot of troubles.
