Surgeons at the city's Dhaka Shishu Hospital successfully separated a pair of conjoined female infants on Monday.
The twins -- Moni and Mukta -- are the fourth to be separated in Bangladesh.
Prof AR Khan, Director and head of surgery of Dhaka Shishu Hospital, performed the operation from 9:45am to 12:00pm along with a 24-member team of surgeons and anesthetists.
After the high-risk surgery, the conditions of the twins were stated to be stable. They will remain in close observations at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the hospital.
Trisna Pal, wife of a village farmer Joyprokash Pal of Palpara village in Birgonj upazila of Dinajpur, gave birth to the twins in a caesarean operation at a local clinic on August 22 last year.
