One-year-old conjoined twins Minal and Mirha from Pakistan were successfully separated during a 14-hour surgery at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital on July 19, 2024. Led by British surgeon Professor Noor ul Owase Jeelani, the complex procedure utilized mixed reality technology to guide the separation. The twins, who were joined at the head and shared vital brain tissue and blood vessels, are recovering well and expected to return home next month. Supported by the charity Gemini Untwined, the operation marks a significant achievement in separating craniopagus twins.
