From being God to being Human..

Imagine you are only 48 months into this world and you have to undergo a 40 hour surgery by 30 highly skilled doctors. This is what happened to Lakshmi who was born with 4arms and 4 legs fused with the spinal cord!! Thanks to the team of doctors at Sparsh hospital in Bangalore who successfully removed the child's extra limbs, salvaged her organs, and rebuilt her pelvis area,

'Lakshmi was born joined to a ''parasitic twin'' that stopped developing in the mother's womb. The surviving foetus absorbed the limbs, kidneys and other body parts of the undeveloped fetus.

The doctors worked through the night to remove the extra limbs and organs, surgery that doctors say will give her a good chance to live past adolescence. The procedure included separating the fused spines along with removing the extra limbs and the rest of the ''parasite,'' said Patil, the orthopedic surgeon leading the operation.

Lakshmi is recovering at the hospital’s intensive care unit and will be under observation for a few days.

The journey from a remote village—where she was revered as a Goddess—near the Bihar-Nepal border to Bangalore was long and arduous but Lakshmi won in the challenge.

A team of paediatrics worked all night on Tuesday to separate organs from the twin body and before that neurosurgeons had separated the spinal chord. The complicated procedure involved separating the parasitic twin's tissues, giving Lakshmi one of the functional kidneys, shifting the genital system and bladder from the left side of the body to a more centred position, reconstructing the pelvic ring, plastic surgery to close her wounds and operations to correct her club feet.

Lakshmi’s parents are hopeful their daughter will be able to lead a normal life. “We are her parents and naturally get worried often. But we are praying and are hopeful,” says her father Shambhu.

It’s a medical complication seen in one among 50,000 cases and if this risky surgery is successful, it will not only be a first in India but will also be a landmark in the surgery of ischiophagus conjoined twins in India.

Planning for the surgery took a month and doctors say without it Lakshmi may not have survived beyond early adolescence.

Kudos Docs!! Where else can we see human Gods other than you people.!!
