Indian Surgeon Successfully Separates Conjoined Twins

In a heartwarming and groundbreaking medical triumph, renowned pediatric neurosurgeon Professor Noor ul Owase Jeelani has successfully separated conjoined twin girls, Minal and Mirha, in a delicate 14-hour operation.

Born in Pakistan, the one-year-old twins were fused at the head, sharing critical blood vessels and brain tissue. Jeelani’s exceptional expertise and pioneering use of mixed reality (MR) technology made the seemingly impossible achievable.

Describing the emotional moment of separation, Jeelani said, “Witnessing the twins emerge as individual beings, surrounded by their overjoyed parents, was truly unforgettable.

It’s moments like these that remind me of the profound impact our work has on families.”

The intricate surgery took place at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital in Turkey, facilitated by Jeelani’s charity, Gemini Untwined, and supported by the Turkish government. This international collaboration demonstrates the power of collective effort in advancing medical frontiers.

Jeelani leveraged cutting-edge 3D technology to ensure precision and minimize risks. By utilizing specialized goggles, he superimposed images of the brain and blood vessels onto the child’s head during surgery.

“This technology has transformative potential,” Jeelani emphasized. “Its integration into routine surgery will revolutionize our field, enhancing accuracy and patient outcomes.”

Minal and Mirha are thriving post-operation, with a promising road to recovery ahead. Their remarkable journey underscores the excellence of British medicine and the life-changing impact of innovative technology.

As the twins begin their new life, their story inspires hope and underscores the boundless potential of medical science.

Professor Jeelani’s remarkable achievement serves as a testament to the unwavering dedication of medical professionals worldwide.
