Intense Surgery and Recovery
Although Maliyah said in the twins’ YouTube video that the surgery lasted only an hour, in fact, it lasted a grueling 26 hours, during which six surgeons and 25 support staff worked tirelessly to separate the girls at the torso, and left them with one leg each.
This was not an easy surgery and recovery wasn’t easy either. The girls had to stay in the hospital for three months following the procedure to make sure the surgery actually was a success and would result in a long, healthy life for these girls. Three months is a long time, but luckily, Kendra and Maliyah had an amazing support system.
