Deepak’s story
Deepak’s story
Deepak’s story mirrors that of Lakshmi Tatma, a girl from Bihar who was born with four arms and four legs but who was successfully operated on in 2007.
She was also treated as a rare child with divine powers before she was operated on, a hospital bearing the cost of the 50,000-dollar surgery.
Her remarkable story made her famous worldwide and she was the subject of television documentaries and newspaper articles in countries across the globe.
The Fortis Hospital in Bangalore said a team of 15 doctors worked on Deepak’s case and after months of consultations went ahead with the complicated surgery.
“she is 100% fit,” said chief surgeon Ramcharan Thiagrajan, adding that doctors faced a challenge to ensure his intestines functioned correctly in the long run.
“Due to all the mockery and stigma she has faced she is very restless and nervous. But now after this successful operation and counselling he will lead a normal life.”
A parasitic twin occurs when a twin embryo begins to develop in the mother, but ultimately does not separate. This results in a semi-formed twin adjoined to the body of the developed twin.
