Doctors in Singapore have begun unprecedented surgery to separate 29-year-old Iranian twin sisters who have been joined at the head since birth.
Ladan and Laleh Bijani have been told that they have a 50-50 chance of survival but say they are willing to risk death for the chance to lead separate lives.
The operation - at the Raffles hospital - involves an international team of 28 doctors and 100 medical assistants and is expected to last for 48 hours.
The sisters will be sitting down throughout the surgery.
