"Joshua and Jacob Spates, 7-month-old twins who were born conjoined at the spine, were successfully separated in a Memphis hospital after 13 hours of surgery. They are now resting in the hospital&amp;#039;s pediatric intensive care unit. The boys were separated on August 29, and are both showing signs of a complete recovery. &amp;quot;Most conjoined twins don&amp;#039;t ever get a chance to get to separation because they die from complications at delivery,&amp;quot; said Langham, chief of pediatric surgery at Le Bonheur Children&amp;#039;s Hospital.&amp;quot; The operation took a 34-member pediatric surgical team to separate the boys&amp;#039; spinal column bone, nerves and muscles as well as gastrointestinal repairs, according to Reuters.
