Pakistani doctors on Thursday removed the extra limbs of a six-legged baby in a successful operation in the southern city of Karachi, according to dpa. The baby boy was born last week in Sukkur city in the southern province of Sindh province and was sent to the National Institute of Child Health in Karachi. Institute director Dr Jamal Raza said that the successful operation lasted about four hours, during which the surgeons removed the deformed internal and external limbs. \"The baby is in now the intensive care unit of the hospital under the supervision of the doctors and going through the post-operation recovery,\" Raza said. \"So far he is stable and I hope he will recover.\" The doctors warned that there may be some complications for the baby in the future due to removal of some of the internal limbs. He also said that the parents paid nothing for the operation as a government charity provided more than 6,600 dollars for the purchase of medicine and equipment. The baby was the first child of a couple who are cousins. Doctors believe the child\'s rare deformity was due to a genetic disorder.
