CORPUS CHRISTI – South Texas’ formerly conjoined twins are doing well, five years after their groundbreaking separation surgery at Driscoll Children’s Hospital.
That surgery, on April 12, 2016, was the separation surgery of conjoined twins in a triplet birth, which has the odds of happening one in 50 million births.
No one at Driscoll Children’s Hospital had ever attempted such a complicated procedure. After many months of intense preparation, fourteen physicians (led by Pediatric Surgeon Haroon Patel, MD) and a staff of medical professionals were ready to do whatever had to be done to offer the hope of a normal life to the conjoined twins.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas Monday marks the five year anniversary of the day that a set of conjoined twin girls named Ximena and Scarlett Torres of Brownsville were surgically separated at Driscoll Children s Hospital. It was as you may remember, a history making surgery.
We are happy to report the girls are doing just fine, and are full of energy, laughter, and smiles.
The girls were joined at the pelvis. Their surgery came 11 months after their birth. They were actually born as a set of triplets. Their sister is also said to be doing fine.
