Baby born with four legs and two male organs

At last a team of surgeons have been able to make life normal for a baby who was born with four legs and two male organs by removing the extra legs and male organs in a Indian hospital.

According to the baby’s mum, the child who was born in January is God’s gift to the family.

Though the parents earlier on reluctant to take by baby to another hospital for the surgery, but after receiving series of advice and reassurance, she took the baby to a specialist facility in Ballari in the western Karnataka state.

The baby’s mum earlier said she was prepared to raise her son the way he was. However, she said: ‘My first son, born three years ago, is healthy. We are poor and cannot afford expensive treatment.’

Dr Virupaksha, who helped deliver the baby, told the Times of India: I referred the family to Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS).

‘I spoke to the surgeons there on Sunday, and they told me that the baby was being kept under observation. I hope the baby becomes normal.’

Lalitamma added: The doctors and members of my family advised me to take the baby to VIMS for for advanced treatment. Now, I am hoping he becomes normal.’

Dr Divakar Gaddi, at VIMS, said: ‘A team of surgeons is looking into the baby’s condition. It is a very challenging case for us.’
