VR technology was used by doctors in Brazil and Britain who wereinvolved in the operation involving the joined twins. The twin boys are namedArthur and Bernardo. The two were joined at the head and shared some braintissue. Doctors in Brazil had attempted to separate the boys in the past, butthey were unsuccessful.

He isa surgeon at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.Jeelani specializes in separating joined twins, especially those linked at thehead. Gemini Untwined has helped carry out several successful surgeries ofchild twins since it was established in 2018.
