With a surgery date scheduled, members of the medical team continue intense preparation for what will be – for most of them – the most complicated case of their careers. From goggles that map out the nerves and blood vessels, to 3-D models of the skulls and choreographed rehearsals in the surgical suite – the preparation is like a dance, with everyone having a clear role and even their own color-coded clothing. Soon, it is the night before the separation surgery.
"Separating Conjoined Twins" is a six-part Emmy winning video series that chronicles their journey from birth to separation surgery and beyond. Follow their story at
