Three-year-old Bernardo and Artur underwent a total of 7 surgeries involving more than 100 medical professionals.
“The successful separation of Bernardo and Artur is a remarkable achievement for the Rio team and a fantastic example of why Gemini Untwined’s work is so valuable. We not only provided the boys and their families with a new future, but also showed our employees the possibilities and instilled in them the confidence that they will be able to successfully perform such a difficult job in the future,” said the British surgeon.
The separation of Siamese twins was made possible thanks to the achievements of scientists from around the world.
“It is through this process of teamwork and knowledge sharing around the world that we can hope to improve the results of our work with all children and their families in this difficult situation,” added Dr. Nur ul Owase Jilani.
