Hyderabad, Feb. 2: A team of neurosurgeons of Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai aided by doctors from the city-based Niloufer Hospital will prepare a model of the conjoined heads of the Siamese twins Veena and Vani for mock surgery.
Doctors will decide on the actual surgery to separate the twins after reviewing their performance on the model.
The model will have blood vessels and other systems resembling the craniophagus twins. Doctors are planning to use 3D imaging software to perform simulation surgery on computers.
The twins share the same blood vessel to the brain which makes the surgery risky. Veena and Vani were shifted to Breach Candy on January 16 for clinical investigations.
Niloufer Hospital's resident medical officer, Dr K Usha Rani, told this correspondent, "They will try to analyse complications that may arise during the surgery and get expertise in handling the case."
Dr A. Narendra Kumar, head of the department of paediatric surgery wing of Niloufer, was part of the team of Breach Candy Hospital neuro surgeons lead by Dr Ashish Mehta.
Niloufer Hospital superintendent Dr S Narasimha Rao said, "Clinical investigations are still going on. They may take a few more days." He said the twins will be shifted to Niloufer after the conclusion of investigations
