Twin girls, born conjoined at the back of the head, saw each other for the first time after successful and rare surgery to separate them in Israel.
“They are recovering well, and they are neurologically ok,” he said in a telephone interview. “Cognitively we can’t estimate yet. We have to wait and examine them and see what happens.”
“The first two days after the operation we saw that they were a little agitated, and when we put them together it was a wonderful moment to see how they became calm and quiet,” said Gideon. “For the first time they were looking at each other after being attached at the back of their head.”Gideon and his team started planning the separation surgery while the twins were still in utero.
During the operation, after doctors separated their blood vessels and bone, they split into two teams in two separate operating rooms to reconstruct the skulls and scalps of each baby.
