Trishna and Krishna, the conjoined Bangladeshi twins who were separated in a path breaking surgery last week, left intensive care yesterday and were adjusting well, according to officials in the Melbourne hospital.
According to a hospital press release, the girls had left the paediatric intensive care unit and were sharing a room together. They were said to be in stable condition.
The twins, who turn 3 next month, had been joined at the top of their heads and shared brain tissue and blood vessels.
They were separated last Tuesday after 25 hours of delicate surgery in Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital and then underwent an additional six hours of reconstructive work.
"The girls are getting to know the new staff who will be caring for them now that they have left intensive care," the release said.
