Linked Brothers Separated in Historic Surgery
In Chicago a 12 hour 40 minute separation operation on Brodie Siamese twins Rodney Dee and Roger Lee concluded with Rodney Dee conscious and crying and smiling while Roger Lee remained unconscious and in precarious condition. Surgeons chose to reserve life for Rodney Dee by giving him the main brain vein, leaving Roger Lee with insufficient drainage. Doctor Oscar Sugar led the neurology team with Paul W. Greeley Herbert J. Grossman and Max S. Sadove assisting. Parents Roy and Mrs Brodie watched as the hospital reported a fragile early post operative state for Roger Lee and cautious optimism for Rodney Dee.
