FYI : Dear mates and colleagues @S.U.R.B. @farhan_9909 @Daneshmand @rahi2357 @halupridol
The conjoined twins, one baby “a wild child,” the other more calm, gained their independence last week after a successful separation surgery at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, described as one of the riskiest in history.
“These girls were now going to have that potential of having an independent life,” Dr. Darrell Cass, the lead surgeon, told TODAY correspondent Janet Shamlian.
The girls, who were joined at the chest when they were born early in April, required a series of incredibly complex and grueling surgeries in order to grow up as individuals.
The marathon separation surgery began on Tuesday and stretched more than 24 hours, involving the work of more than 50 medical professionals.
The hours passed by, until finally, Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, an attending surgeon at Texas Children’s Hospital, emerged to announce:
“The babies are separated.”
Doctors used cutting-edge technology, including an exact 3-D printed model of the twins’ anatomy, and they conducted simulations of the surgery.
“There was lots and lots of planning,” Cass said.
Just before surgery, Elysse Mata described the family as excited, anxious and nervous, and the couple prayed and cried as doctors reassured them they would take good care of the babies.
The surgery wasn’t always smooth sailing, as Cass noted: “We had some challenges there that we had to work through.”
But afterward, the girls were stable, breathing well and their blood pressure was great.
RIP laleh and ladan
