美國一對13個月大的雙胞胎男嬰阿尼亞斯與傑登(Anias & Jadon McDonald),和其他寶寶一樣有著可愛天真無邪的笑容以及圓滾滾大眼,但唯一不同的是,他們是頭腦相連的連體嬰。

Extraordinary: Anias and Jadon McDonald underwent surgery to be separated. Surgeons placed expanding tissues in their heads months before to stretch the skin so there would be enough for them to stitch each on back up individually afterwards
 
Anias was still in surgery late on Friday morning since he was more affected by the separation of their brain tissue. He eventually came out the operating room at 1pm on Friday
 
他們的父母37歲的克里斯提安(Christian)和31歲的妮可(Nicole)幾經思考後,決定進行分離手術(250萬美金,約8千萬新台幣),為了兩兄弟將來,即使可能會因此失去兒子,他們仍只能忍痛賭一把。

 

這項手術由顱部聯胎(craniopagus)權威古瑞奇醫生(James Goodrich)操刀,手術中最困難的部分,就是必須分離雙胞胎腦中共享的血管,一個不小心,可能造成大量失血。

Happy: Nicole, 31, and 37-year-old Christian, insisted the boys were perfect as they were
 
Based on national statistics, it is astonishing they have made it to 13 months. Around 40 per cent of craniopagus twins are stillborn. Of those that survive, a third die within 24 hours

 根據描述,醫生每下一刀,阿尼亞斯的心跳及脈搏就越來越薄弱,後來醫生甚至一度打算暫停手術,因為兩兄弟腦袋中共享的血管及組織比之前照3D所呈現的還多。

They will spend 72 hours in intensive care, then months in a rehab center
 
Doctors have spent the last few months placing tissue expanders in the boys' head to make it easier to separate them, leaving enough skin to stitch each head back up. The difficult process will be separating the tangled veins the boys share, not dissimilar to that in this diagram
 

 

幸好,在歷經將近20小時的馬拉松接力手術後,兩人成功分開了,不過當傑登順利推出手術房時,阿尼亞斯仍在奮戰中,幾個小時後,他平安無事地回到了家人身邊。

妮可立刻在臉書上和上千名關心兩兄弟手術的網友們報平安,她說過去十幾個小時都在一片未知當中,「我一直到最後平安了才忍不住哭出來,我甚至沒有辦法好好對醫生說出簡單的謝謝你」。

不過一家人還無法就此放心,因為接下來幾個月,是阿尼亞斯與傑登的重要恢復期,關係著他們能否順利存活下去,不過他們十分樂觀,也已經準備好展開一段漫長的奮鬥旅程。
