Lakshmi Tatma is a two-year-old girl named after the Hindu goddess of wealth who has four arms. She was believed to have been “sent from God” when she was born to a poor rural family in the Indian state of Bihar.

As news of her birth spread among the 500 inhabitants of Rampur Kodar Katti — a remote settlement without electricity or running water — men, women and children queued for a darshan, or blessing, from the baby.
However, it will require the latest techniques in medical science to separate Lakshmi from her “parasitical”, headless, undeveloped “twin”, which is joined to her body at the pelvis.


The £100,000 operation will require differently skilled teams of more than 30 surgeons to work in eight-hour shifts to separate Lakshmi’s spinal column and kidney from that of her twin.


After attempting to transplant the shared kidney wholly into Lakshmi’s body, another team of surgeons will gradually close up her pelvic girdle while re-orientating her bladder and genital systems. Plastic surgeons will then graft skin to cover her wounds while an “external fixator” will be attached to close her pelvis gradually over a three-week period.
