Newly separated Cork twins Hassan and Hussein Benhaffaf remain in intensive care in London’s Ormond Street Hospital yesterday in a stable condition.
Doctors said yesterday that the boys’ condition had not changed overnight following their 12-hour surgery, which was completed early on Thursday morning.
The four-month-old brothers now face a lengthy recovery, and the Benhaffaf family have relocated to London to be close to the twins, who remain under the care of a team of specialist doctors.
Parents Angie and Azzedine Benhaffaf thanked the people of Ireland for the support and goodwill they received in a statement released by the hospital following the complex but so far successful surgery.
The next few days are crucial for the boys, born six weeks premature. They are expected to remain at Great Ormond Street hospital for a number of weeks.
