A baby boy born with two penises in Russia has undergone complicated surgery to join them into one.
The child, named by the Russian media only as Artyom G, was born two weeks ago after a normal pregnancy.
He was rushed from his maternity hospital to St Vladimir's Children's Clinical Hospital in Moscow where he underwent the lengthy operation to join the two penises.
"The surgery was complicated. We had to form one penis out of two, make the abdominal wall and create a bladder," said a doctor involved in the five hour operation.
"When our colleagues asked for help we said 'yes' immediately but we couldn't imagine the case would be so complicated."
According to the The Sun, the hospital said that the baby is now in good health and the surgery a complete success.
"He will grow into a normal man and be able to have kids," the doctor added.
