Professor Noor ul Owase Jeelani, a consultant paediatric neurosurgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital, completed the intricate procedure in Turkey, as reported by Evening Standard on Wednesday.
The conjoined twins, Minal and Mirha, born in Pakistan and joined at the head as craniopagus twins, are now recovering and expected to make full recoveries.
Jeelani, who led the operation through his charity, Gemini Untwined, described the moment as “a really wonderful feeling” as the twins’ parents watched their daughters start a new chapter in life.
He said, “It was so rewarding to see two healthy children and the joy on their parents’ faces,” Jeelani told the Evening Standard, adding, “a really wonderful feeling.”
