A small conjoined twin from Papua New Guinea has finally flown home, six months after complex separation surgery in Australia which almost took his life.
Sawong Kevin developed a highly dangerous fungal infection of the blood after surviving twelve hours of separation and reconstruction surgery at Sydney Children's Hospital on 7 December.
The two-month-old twins were fused at the lower abdomen and Tom, who was declining rapidly, died within minutes of being detached from his brother.
Six days later doctors feared Sawong, who was in an induced coma to help him heal, could also die.
