Peru’s mermaid baby undergoes second surgery

September 8th, 2006 3:40 pm by father_sphinx

Two-year-old Milagros Cerron was born with a rare defect called the Mermaid syndrome or sirenomelia.

It usually proves fatal for those afflicted but the Peruvian girl known as the “Little Mermaid” is a fighter and underwent a second round of surgery on Thursday to further separate her fused legs.

After the first operation performed in June 2005, Milagros was able to stand unassisted and take a few small steps.

The little girl waved to well wishers and the press as she was taken to surgery in the arms of Dr Rubios.

This second operation performed by a team of eight experts, lasted a little under three hours and was needed to separate her legs to her waist.

The entire procedure was broadcast live to a media room adjoining the operating room. (ndtv.com)
