About Lakshmi Tatma
Lakshmi Tatma is a well-known Indian girl who became famous right after her birth in India because she was born with “four legs and four arms”.
However, she was one of a pair of Siamese and Ischiopagus twins, of which the other’s head and chest were atrophied, resulting in the appearance of one twin with four legs and four arms. She has undergone surgeries that have corrected the condition.
Background
She was born in Bihar, India, to destitute Indian parents who worked as day laborers and couldn’t afford to have her separation surgery. She was named after the Hindu goddess of prosperity, “Lakshmi” who is represented as having four arms.
They were later found by Indian surgeon Sharan Patil, who helped the girl and her parents with the surgery.
Surgery
Her surgery began at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 6, 2007, and was expected to last forty hours. Over 30 surgeons operated in shifts. The Sparsh Hospital’s philanthropic arm, the “Sparsh Foundation” covered the entire cost of nearly $625,000. Doctors gave her a 75–80% survival chance throughout the procedure, which lasted 27 hours. Doctors conducted a press conference a week after the surgery, showing she was healthy and a successful procedure.
After spending a month in the hospital, she and her family moved to Jodhpur, where she enrolled in a school for the disabled.
