Dr. Alaa El-Naggar, Head of the Neurosurgery Department, pointed out that this operation is considered one of the rare cases, as the success of these operations depends on good preparation before the operation. He explained that the twins were admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit to be followed up under the supervision of consultants in neurology, neonatal medicine, and anaesthesia.

The medical team was able to separate the conjoined twins after a long and complex operation that took about 10 hours, in capsule operating rooms, which are the most modern in the world, as they maintain a germ-free environment and are equipped with an advanced surgical microscope.
