Siamese operation marks bold team effort in separation
Pediatrician Dr. Stephen Minton says the seven surgeons, four anesthesiologists, and dozen nurses carried out a high stake operation to separate 34 pound newborn twins sharing a single skull and brain vessels. The team operated in shifts to avoid fatigue, using advanced microscopes and an open heart surgery theater. Postoperative outcomes remain uncertain as weeks may reveal brain damage, with potential further reconstructive work. The doctors donated their time and refused to name themselves, emphasizing teamwork and prayer.
