New Delhi, India, July 31, 2025: New Delhi, India, August 1, 2025: Sunrise Hospital in New Delhi achieved a remarkable medical feat under the expertise of a world-renowned Gynaecologist and Laparoscopic surgeon, Dr. Nikita Trehan. Marking one of the longest delayed twin deliveries with an interval of 127 days between the two deliveries, this case marked
The 34-year-old patient was referred to Dr. Trehan for her skills in laparoscopic surgeries. The woman had conceived twins through IVF, due to her husband’s previous cancer treatments. When the patient came to Sunrise Hospital, she had gone into early labour at just 19 weeks, due to a weak cervix.
The first twin was delivered without any signs of life, while the second twin needed time to continue growing inside the womb. Dr. Trehan took the unconventional decision to keep the second twin inside the womb by tying off the umbilical cord and repositioning it inside to support the growth of the second twin.
The doctor then performed a Laparoscopic keyhole surgery to stop the labour, a technique that works better than traditional stitching methods.
Regardless of the high risk of complications and bacterial infection, the patient was closely monitored at Sunrise Hospital over the coming months and delivered a healthy 3.27kg baby.
Delayed twin deliveries are extremely rare, with less than 100 cases documented globally. A 127-day gap makes this case one of the rarest cases worldwide.
Dr. Trehan states, “This case shows new possibilities for critical pregnancies and offers hope to women facing similar challenges.
