During the life-changing surgery, Samuel lost a lot of blood and had to brought back to life twice.
Since birth, the twins have been subjected to numerous hospital trips and medical procedures as specialists made preparations for the complicated operation.
Although the two boys were not joined at the brain, they shared several key arteries and nerve fibres that connect the brain’s left and right hemispheres.
Despite the involvement of two teams of neurosurgeons, anaesthesiologists, nurses, medics and assistants working shifts in two operation rooms, the surgery was not without its complications.
Little Samuel continues to be in a critical condition.
