Separated twins now "normal children"

Formerly conjoined twins Trishna and Krishna are doing well.

The Bangladeshi sisters were separated at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital last month during 32 hours of surgery.

New Zealand plastic surgeon Andrew Greensmith, who took part in the operation, says it is the pinnacle of his career. He says Trishna is now sitting up by herself and may crawl any day now. Krishna is sitting up in a highchair.
"From what we can see, from a neurological function point of view they seem to be normal children which is only just sinking in. That's never happened."

Mr Greensmith says because the girls' development has been held back, they are unlikely to remember being joined together.
