BANGALORE, India - Doctors in southern India completed a grueling 24-hour operation Wednesday on a girl born with four arms and four legs.
The surgery went "wonderfully well," said Dr. Sharan Patil, who led a team of more than 30 surgeons in performing the marathon procedure to remove Lakshmi's extra limbs, salvage her organs and rebuild her pelvis area.
"This girl can now lead as good a life as anyone else," Patil said from a hospital in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.
However, she will have to have further treatments and possible surgery for clubbed feet before she would be able to walk, he said.

The tallest bridge in the world is in France and is over 300 metres high. But soon a rail bridge being constructed in Jammu will stand much taller. The world's tallest rail bridge is coming up at Kauri, a hamlet in Jammu's Reasi district. When it is completed by December 2009, the bridge will rise 359 m above the Chenab River.
Die international renommierte Cleft-Stiftung mit dem anerkannten Chirurgen Professor Sailer an der Spitze will dem „Mädchen mit zwei Gesichtern" aus Indien helfen. „Zwei Dinge sind uns wichtig: Wir haben erstens als einzige weltweit das ethisch-kulturelle Verständnis und zweitens das fachspezifische Know-how, um die Eltern über die Möglichkeiten eines medizinischen Eingriffes aufzuklären, denn selbst in einem solch komplizierten Fall gibt es häufig noch viele gute Behandlungs-Chancen", sagt Professor Sailer, weltbekannter Chirurg für Face Design an der Bethanien-Klinik in Zürich -- und vielleicht einziger Retter für Lali.
