😮😮 María and Teresa Tapia were literally inseparable, but doctors managed to separate them. Look at how they look now.
They are extraordinary girls, with personalities and habits as different as night and day.
María and Teresa Tapia were literally inseparable. Born joined at the chest and abdomen, they shared a liver, pancreas, and part of their intestines.
😧The chances of survival were slim. Similar cases occur rarely worldwide—from one in 50,000 to 100,000 newborns. But the surgical team decided to undertake an extremely complex operation.
For many hours, six specialists separated organ after organ, reconstructing what should have belonged to each girl. 😯 However, the surgery went perfectly—the doctors admitted they were surprised by its success.
🤗Today they smile, feeling independent for the first time. You’ll be amazed when you see them now.

The surgical team at Richmond Children’s Hospital (USA) undertook this extremely difficult operation. Six specialists worked for many hours, separating organ after organ, reconstructing what was due to each.
The risk of complications was enormous: almost 90% of the liver’s blood flow went to Teresa, and María was much smaller. Nevertheless, the surgery was perfect—the doctors confessed that even they were amazed at how smoothly everything went.
The participation of an entire university was also unusual: fashion students sewed dresses, sculptors made plaster models of the bodies for the surgeons’ fittings, and therapists adapted everyday objects to the girls’ needs.
Science and creativity have come together with a single goal: to give these girls a future.
Today María and Teresa smile, finally feeling independent. Their mother, Lisandra Sanatis, says: “I’ve always dreamed of seeing them independent.
Now each will have her own life—with her own joys, her own tantrums, and even her own arguments.”
The story of the Tapia sisters is more than just a medical miracle. It’s a symbol of how faith and teamwork can overcome the impossible.
