COLUMBUS, Ohio — Doctors in Columbus have separated conjoined twin girls in a 16-hour operation.

A statement released Tuesday  says the 11-month-old girls were recovering after the complex procedure last Thursday at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus. The surgical team included more than 30 people and was led by Dr. Gail Besner, the hospital's chief of pediatric surgery.

The statement says the girls' family is from Uganda and had traveled to the hospital in December.

Experts say conjoined twins occur once in about every 200,000 pregnancies.

"But this I know, UPC believed and still believes in

very high education. We can call Obote all bad names we have, but the bottom line remains that he got more scholarships for Buganda than all previous Uganda leaders combined. That includes Sir Edward Mutesa, President Lule, President Binayisa, up to and into Ssabasajja Mutebi. Who all happen to be Baganda leaders." Mulindwa
