W460

Doctors on Wednesday successfully carried out life-saving surgery on an Indian baby suffering from a rare disorder that caused her head to swell to nearly double its size, a neurosurgeon told Agence France Presse.

"The surgery went perfectly, much better than expected," said Sandeep Vaishya after the procedure on 15-month-old Roona Begum.

"It's definitely a success but it's too early to say what the quality of her future life will be like," Vaishya added, speaking exclusively to an AFP reporter inside the operating theatre at a hospital in New Delhi.
