Status: The surgery began at 7:15 on Monday, August 7, 2006 morning and lasted well into the next morning, throughout which time the girls did better than expected. Doctors divided the girls' shared liver, separated their intestines and reconstructed their pelvises. Other Information: The surgery was historic in that it was the first successful sepration of conjoined twins who shared a kidney, which remained with Kendra. Maliyah will require dialysis as she waits for a transplant. (It is expected that her mother will donate a kidney for the transplant.) Eventually, both girls will receive a prothestic leg.
