Doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi have successfully performed a rare surgery on a 17-year-old boy from Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, who was born with two extra legs and underdeveloped genitalia attached to his abdomen. This condition, known as an incomplete parasitic twin, is extremely uncommon, with only about 40 cases reported worldwide. The boy had lived with this condition since birth, facing significant physical and social challenges, including dropping out of school due to ridicule and discomfort.
The surgical team, led by Dr. Asuri Krishna, conducted a two-and-a-half-hour operation on February 8, 2025, to remove the parasitic limbs and associated tissues. Preoperative assessments, including CT angiography, revealed that the extra limbs were supplied by a branch of the internal mammary artery, adding complexity to the procedure. Additionally, a large cystic mass was discovered in the boy's abdomen, which was also removed during the surgery. The operation required meticulous dissection to separate shared blood vessels, nerves, and tissues close to vital organs.
Following the surgery, the teenager recovered swiftly, resuming oral intake the day after the operation and being discharged on the fourth day. He expressed hope for a new beginning, stating his desire to return to school and lead a normal life. This successful surgery not only alleviated his physical discomfort but also opened up new opportunities for his future.

A new English-language documentary, “Ayurveda – The Double Helix of Life,” is set to premiere on June 11 in New Delhi, with a special screening at the Film Division Theatre. The film is directed by national award–winner Vinod Mankara and produced by Dr. A V Anoop under the A V A Productions banner, in collaboration with the Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organisation of India.
Clocking in at around 90 minutes, the docu‑film explores how Ayurveda can complement modern medicine, especially in treating conditions like infertility, renal stones, diabetic neuropathy, and even Parkinson’s disease in Germany. It moves from traditional medicine-making practices to recent clinical breakthroughs such as rejuvenating skin treatments and slow-release pharmaceutical pads. Mankara, who also scripted the film, emphasises that the goal is to present Ayurveda as a scientifically valid system, not merely ancient tradition.
Featuring commentary from 52 experts—including doctors, scientists, and officials from the World Health Organization—the documentary aims to counter misinformation and highlight ongoing research in integrative medicine. Officials expected at the premiere include Minister of State for Ayush and Health Prataprao Jadhav and Ayush Secretary Rajesh Kotecha. The film will be shown in multiple countries, aiming to raise global awareness of Ayurveda’s scientific potential.
