Carried out at Istanbul\u2019s Acibadem Hospital, the successful procedure set a new world record for the fastest-ever operation of its kind.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThanks to our team of dedicated professionals, we were able to separate the twins in a well-planned surgical procedure that took about nine hours,\u201d Prof. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin, who supervised the operation, says. He is an M.D. specialized in aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs a result of the procedure, the twins, who were born conjoined at the breastbone but has two hearts, were both able to survive on their own. Born in Algeria, the twins are now in stable condition, where they remain under observation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>Groundbreaking Methods<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nProf. Karaaltin\u2019s team included dozens of medical experts and specialists, who employed a number of novel techniques to bring the procedure to a successful conclusion. These included virtual simulations that allowed doctors to predict the effects of the operation in advance.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThese simulations helped us preempt any potentially fatal injuries the twins might have otherwise sustained,\u201d explains Prof. Karaaltin, who has performed a number of successful operations in the fields of micro- and reconstructive surgery.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe procedure also involved 3D modeling of the twins\u2019 skeletal structures and internal organs. Doctors also applied three tissue balloons, which were gradually inflated over a three-month preoperative period.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn another first, decellularized placenta membranes, developed in Turkish laboratories, were implanted in the patients using the Endo-vision method. \u201cWe also created a biocompatible scaffold with a 3D bio-printer that allowed us to rebuild their anterior chest walls,\u201d Prof. Karaaltin says.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>Making Medical History<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nConjoined twins are believed to be caused by aberrations experienced during embryonic development. The phenomenon occurs in approximately one out of every 50,000 births, and most cases \u2013 roughly 60% \u2013 result in stillbirth.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nProf. Karaaltin\u2019s successful separation procedure has aroused considerable excitement in the international surgical community. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to have made medical history,\u201d he says. \u201cThe cutting-edge techniques that we used in this operation will no doubt save countless lives in the future.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p> <b>Contacts<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>\nZeyno T\u00fczkan<br \/>\n<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"&#x6d;&#97;i&#x6c;&#x74;&#111;:&#x5a;&#x65;&#121;n&#x6f;&#x74;&#117;z&#x6b;&#x61;&#110;&#64;&#x67;&#109;&#97;i&#x6c;&#46;c&#x6f;&#x6d;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" shape=\"rect\">&#90;&#x65;y&#x6e;o&#116;&#x75;&#122;&#x6b;a&#110;&#x40;&#103;&#x6d;a&#x69;&#x6c;&#46;&#x63;o&#x6d;<\/a><br \/>International Media Consultant Coordinator<br \/>\n<br \/>0090 532 178 44 89\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team led by Prof. Karaaltin, employed revolutionary techniques to save lives of conjoined twins ISTANBUL&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;A Turkish medical team has successfully separated conjoined twins shortly after birth by employing a range of innovative techniques, including virtual simulations and 3D modeling.
