Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The first recorded successful separation of conjoined twins was carried out by Swiss surgeon Johannes Fatio in Basel, Switzerland, between 24 November and 3 December 1689. The patients were a pair of newborn girls named Elisabet and Catherina, both of whom recovered fully from the surgery.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anecdotal reports of viable conjoined twins in European medical history date back more than 1, 000 years. But the first well-known case was not documented until 1811, when 2 boys-Chang and Eng-were born in Bangkok, Thailand, attached to each other at the sternum.
