Conjoined twins born in Brazil with a fused head and brain have been separated in what doctors described Monday as the most complex surgery of its kind, which they prepared for using virtual reality, AFP reported on Monday.
Joined at the top of the head for nearly four years, Arthur and Bernardo Lima born in 2018 in the state of Roraima are now able to look each other in the face for the first time, after a series of nine operations culminating in a marathon 27-hour surgery to separate them in the Paulo Niemeyer State Brain Institute (IECPN) in Rio.
Using brain scans to create a digital map of the boys’ shared cranium, members of the medical team, which included nearly 100 staff, practiced for the procedure in a trans-Atlantic virtual-reality trial surgery.
