Doctors have successfully removed a baby's extra limbs after it was born with four hands and four feet.The child is now in a stable condition at a hospital in China's southern Guangdong province four days after the surgery.
The 13-day-old boy, from Huizhou, was born joined to a headless parasitic twin joined at the torso on April 2. That has now been removed.
Yu Jiakang, chief surgeon at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center said: 'They were supposed to be twins, but one had underdeveloped and became deformed.'
The conjoined twins weighed just over 3kg before surgery, with the removed parasitic foetus weighing 0.6kg.
