My father’s a neurosurgeon and he actually helped separate a pair of Filipino craniopagus twins who were sent to the US for surgery. It’s truly amazing how much surgeons (and all healthcare workers) can do to heal people.
God bless your father, you must be so proud. What a blessing to people he must be. That is amazing he performed that and I wish him the upmost respect.
I had brain surgery at 17. The size of the team of healthcare professionals that worked on my case was unbelievable... Props to all the nurses and others who don't get the credit deserved.
@Nan Moto I'm 34 now - Have many complications, I had to relearn how to walk, write, eat, pretty much everything and was diagnosed with a disorder called Neurofibromatosis 1. Some Tumors still in my brain and along my nervous system but for the most part, I'm doing well, hoping for the best future I can have. Thanks for asking, Stay safe!
well in reality it's never just them. it's literally the whole team. without the others in there they can't do the job effectively same the other way around
It's kind of insane that the most common question about this new and complicated procedure is how were the parents able to pay for it. Worse, it's not even a silly question.
Most surgeries of this magnitude are covered by the hospital itself. These are pretty experiemental procedures with fairly high morbidity rates, so they aren't going to have parents pay for something their child might not survive, especially if it's not a proven 100% set in stone procedure like this one. Procedures like these change all the time.
@@callofdutyblackops9 and more cynically, this does bring prestige and press coverage to the hospital if successful so it's a benefit to them administratively as well. Enables them to attract top talent and raise funds.
I love when they show the entire team - it takes the teamwork of dozens of humans to make something like this possible on top of the skill of the surgeons. Kudos to all the hospital staff involved!
Indeed! My little sister needed a pretty serious brain surgery back in 2001, and while the media gave all credit to the surgeon, the ones who my sister interacted with the most were the nurses, who came to love her. When she needed to return for another surgery a few years later, all the old nurses rushed into her room to see how she had grown and improved. They even called in nurses who had moved on to other hospitals and one who retired. It really was like she was everybody's little sister in that children's hospital. So many staff get personally, emotionally involved. Bless our nurses, techs, and doctors.
This is absolutely incredible! What stood out to me even more was that Dr. Heuer acknowledged the team that helped with this procedure. The picture towards the end where we see everyone who was involved made me tear up a bit - people who are in the healthcare field have my utmost respect and admiration! 🙏
I really respect these surgeon’s philosophical approach “innovation not for innovation’s sake but to help kids.” You would be SHOCKED at how many doctors in this field don’t feel this way. I did a research project on conjoined twins and discovered that Ben Carson has actually separated a few sets. One, I believe in the 90’s where the twins lived but one was brain damaged and his quality of life was very low. At the time, Carson said it was not a successful surgery because the twins did not maintain a good quality of life. Then later in his career he performed a similar surgery where both twins sadly died. And he said the surgery was a success because they learned so much. It benefited science so much. This change in his perspective over his career has always disturbed me a lot.
I don't think he changed his mind i think he said that out of compassion for the parents. Letting them know that their kids death is not in vain and might help other kids suffering the same fate....
It could also just be a way to help everyone involved deal with their grief over the tragic loss of life. Knowing the twins' death was at least not in vain would make it easier to cope.
That's the hospital my platelet donations have gone to several times! It's wonderful to see this incredible operation being performed and giving these kids a chance at a much easier life than they would have had otherwise.
@@livewellwitheds6885 It's so worthwhile and I'm honestly grateful I can do it. I wish I had known prior to last year that I have AB+ blood and thus my platelets and plasma are able to help a lot of people. Alas, everyone in my life thought I had B+ like my dad until I gave to the Red Cross and set up a profile and was immediately confused.
@@parkerb4449 I have a friend who has O- blood and she used to be able to donate blood plenty, but she's since then gone through cancer and chemo, so her body no longer can manage it. It's just great that people do it for as long as they can, since it's one of those rare sorts of donations that you KNOW is going to be given to someone who needs it, not sneakily pocketed by some greedy company. After all, who has use for blood products except those in medical need?
Modern surgery is so much less invasive than surgery even 10-20 years ago! I had a small tumor in my colon and the surgeon took it out with an endoscopy tool on a robotic surgery unit. Granted the unit looked straight out of an alien space ship ready to probe patients (which it does in a way) but before it’s invention and use in surgery, patients like me had to have a fully open abdominal surgery with a colostomy bag installed and several months of recovery. Compare that to the couple of months I took to recover without needing a colostomy bag and it’s just amazing!
The doctor saying this is a team effort shows how humble these doctors are. It takes a village to complete these surgeries and also amazing how science has advanced to successfully separate conjoined twins.
I'm more than certain that they couldn't have afforded to afford that operation if they'd saved up for 1000 years! Maybe they could have afforded the plane tickets, but that's about it. American "Health Care" is beyond CrAzY Expensive and just laying in a hospital bed costs over $500 a day, and that's not EVEN adding in an aspirin. You'd probably have to double the cost if you REALLY NEEDED to add in an aspirin tablet! I would guess the cost for the whole surgery would EASILY EXCEED a million dollars, not including the Doctors bills. And there were 2 Main Dr.s, and no telling how many others involved, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if the entire surgical team could have exceeded 20 people. If you think about it, that might have added up to Real Money 💵💰💵💰! Maybe $20 or $30 dollars more!
@@eddenoy321 the majority of children's hospitals in the US have little to no cost given to parents. When I was a kid I had several infected teeth that needed to be removed, and after everything was done my parents bill was about 300-400 dollars.
I’ve followed Abby and Erin for years and watching their journey is nothing short of a miracle. They’re growing into two beautiful spunky young girls! Well done doctors, and well done to Abby and Erin’s family.
in the end when they also give credits to the nurses, anesthesiologists and other healthcare workers, i can tell that they're not just great doctors; they're great peoples, too. respect!
I’m so glad they mentioned the rest of the team that was part of the process! It’s so cool seeing how many people helped and they aren’t always given the credit they deserve
It's kinda insane to think they've separated those two girls using the same bodily functions that allowed me to stretch my earlobes. Modern medicine is truly amazing
All surgeons are incredible. I essentially have a dead gallbladder inside me and because of surgeons I’ll be able to have my life back soon enough. I can’t stress enough how incredible these people truly are
I used to watch a lot of 'separation of conjoined twins' shows on like dateline or 2020 back in the day, several decades ago. And wow I thought they had cool techniques then but it's amazing how far they've come in a relatively short period of time.
My great aunt (who just recently turned 70) was a conjoined twin at the heel. Her twin sister did not survive the separation. I’m glad these doctors can give help in even more severe cases now.
I had a brain tumor that was removed by a great team of professionals among a great neurosurgeon, phycal therapist, nurses, anesthesiologist, physical therapist, to name a few. I am alive and well thanks to him and his amazing team 👏 👏 👏

Extreme props to these talented doctors and their team. Advances in technology has given them greater flexibility in planning and performing these complex procedures.
These doctors and nurses and everyone involved are amazing. Made me want to tear up what he said at the end. Doctors have to have a bit of a "tough" skin to handle all the stresses, but deep down, most of them have a soft heart that just wants to help people. I pray God bless all of them for that.
Their team is incredible. These kind of people in the medical field are true blessings. I was unfortunate to have had few doctors before who acts harsh. There was once where I had to pick between two difficult choices and when I told him what I picked, he laughed at my decision. There were also one who only gave me pain relievers for 3 to 4 days despite me having a severe intestinal blockage and my appendix on the verge of bursting. But most were kind and compassionate. I am truly thankful to the doctors and nurses who saved and who will save my life in the future. I have a pesky rare genetic disease so being in a life threatening situation again is inevitable.
"We abandoned the halo approach. Instead, we ran down to the local Pick-n-Pull and grabbed a hose clamp off the radiator of an 84 Chevy pickup truck..."
I'm not a conjoined twin, but I think these sorts of stories hit especially hard for other twins (next to conjoined twins). After all, it easily could have happened to us, too. God bless these wonderful doctors! You go!
So smart. Back in the day skull binding to make babies have oblong heads in Mayan culture/ Egyptian culture. babies have more flexibility and softer heads because it's still forming. That device is brilliant and these doctors are very smart.
These doctors are beautiful amazing people. They're the only people on earth with the expertise and experience to help these children, and they do it as much as possible.
When I saw the photo of the whole team of medical staff all I could think about it how unbelievably expensive it must've been for the parents...holy cow
I wouldn't be able to guess the overall effect on her body, but I imagine that she had the twins via C-section. Her OB/GYN would have known very early on that they were conjoined, and would have begun the process of getting them delivered safely.
I’m a graduate of Children’s Hospital Philadelphia. I was in the old hospital under the care of the late Jesse Nicholson. Great hospital. Great doctors.
God that sounds like an absolute nightmare if it were to happen outside of a medical setting. I imagine prior to modern medicine, being pregnant with conjoined twins would have been fatal to the mother quite often.
@@merrymachiavelli2041 I was just thinking that even in a medical setting (even with a c section) it would be difficult since it's essentially delivering 2 ppl at once connected via one body
The thumbnail made me take a look at it again. I thought you find a twin that is also both a doctor talk about how to safely operate on a conjoined twin.
The idea of first starting to separate conjoined twins gradually with a process very similar to braces straightening teeth is one of those brilliantly simple inventions, that is so awesome.
when they were just describing the operation i just kept thinking, wow that sounds really really hard. i haven’t thought that about very much. it’s like i can comprehend what they’re doing i can imagine how i could you it and it’s just so difficult. most things i can’t imagine. it’s like the knowledge needed to understand what it is i have but not what it takes to be able to do it.
Quick shout out to the Neurosurgeon who not only separated the CONJOINED TWINS but also worked hard to lose a lot of weight since then, he looks awesome!
So in laments terms: Step 1: Pull them apart very slowly Step 2: Tie a band around the conjoined area like shepherds do to castrate sheep Step 3: Do the surgery
The thing that amazes me the most about the human body is the distraction osteogenesis Someone i know had most of his lower leg remade using this feature of the body We can actually regrow bone, we just need to direct it to regrow it correctly, you can have your arm almost destroyed and you may actually get it back Maybe there is a way to grow a whole new hand or leg if we continue to advance this kind of technique

Maybe there is a way to grow a whole new hand or leg if we continue to advance this kind of technique
Such cute babies, I hope they are well now.
These amazing doctors operated on my child, they are brilliant, passionate and caring doctors :).
*Truly amazing... A few minutes ago, I was watching those fake Guru's claiming that Doctors are dumb wasting their life studying only failing to become millionaires. I was so pissed, a few scrolls now I saw this recommendation, YT is really good at trolling your emotions.*
This is absolutely incredible
Can you imagine being able to do brain surgery? Medical technology is amazing!
