Mayo to separate two more conjoined twins from North Dakota

ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) The Mayo Clinic says it's preparing to separate another pair of conjoined twins from North Dakota.

Eight-week-old Abygail and Madysen Fitterer of Bismarck have undergone the first procedure leading up to their surgery. The daughters of Stacy and Suzy Fitterer had tissue expanders placed in them during a four-hour procedure.

The twins are joined at the abdomen.

Mayo teams separated Abbigail and Isabelle Carlsen of Fargo on May 12th.
