A 25-hour operation to separate conjoined twins has been successful, say doctors in Australia.
Bangladeshi twins Trishna and Krishna, who are nearly three years old, were joined at the top of the head.
A 16-strong team began the delicate operation separating the girls' brain tissue at 2300GMT on Sunday.
On Tuesday, Chief of Surgery Leo Donnan said both girls are "doing well" following the surgery at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
