The twin sisters, Dawa and Nima are now in recovery at the RCH.
Dr Joe Crameri, head of paediatric surgery at the RCH lead a team of 18 surgeons, nurses and anaesthetists.
Speaking to the media after the surgery he said the twins were "doing very well" and breathing on their own."
"The surgical procedure became somewhat less complex once it was discovered the twins who were joined at the torso did not share a bowel but only a liver."
Earlier this morning, members of the Bhutani community in South Australia had gathered for a vigil and prayed for a positive outcome.
The long and complex surgery for the conjoined twins was expected to take more than six hours and was being watched closely by Australia’s Bhutani community.
Ichha Poudel from the Bhutani community in South Australia told SBS Nepali they had full faith in Australian surgeons to help Dawa and Nima to become separated and live a healthier life.
Citing the similar example a few years earlier in which two conjoined Bangladeshi twins, who were joined at the head, were successfully separated, Mr Poudyel said that he hoped Dr Joe Crameri and his team at the RCH would be able to deliver the good news.
Poudyel says that the community, mostly made up of Nepali speaking refugees from Bhutan, was doing the utmost to support the mother and family of the twins.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the little ones, their mother Bhumchu Zangmo, their families and the whole of Bhutan, who are holding their breath at the moment," he said.
Bhutani communities in other Australian states are also coming together to help the family by organising various programs including fundraising initiatives.
Help Himalayan Youth Foundation and Bhutanese Community of Australia are two such organisations which are closely working with family, The Children First Foundation and other stakeholders.
Parsuram Sharma-Luital JP a leading figure in Bhutani community, speaking with SBS Nepali said, "We are in joy. I think the whole medical team are the true god. If it was not for them, it would be prudent to think Dawa and Nima would still be conjoined and struggling and would not have had survived for long."

Mr Sharma-Luital said he and Bhutani community in Australia would now focus towards the welfare of the mother who has felt huge isolation due to restrictions at the hospital for visitors.
The Children First Foundation has promised more access to the local Bhutani community once the twins start their recovery.
