Well, we did it.That's what the doctor told Nicole and Christian McDonald on Friday after he successfully completed a dangerous 16-hour surgery to separate their conjoined twin boys.
经过危险的16小时手术,成功分离连体双胞胎男孩后医生告诉尼科尔和麦克唐纳,好的,我们做到了。
You make the craziest faces, man.Jadon and Anias McDonald were born joined at the head a little over a year ago. Separating them was going to be a challenge.
你的面孔最疯狂。杰登和阿尼一年前出生的时候头部连在一起。分离他们将是一个挑战。
The boys shared a blood vessel and brain tissue. If anything went wrong during the procedure, one or both of them could have died or suffered major brain damage.
男孩们共用一根血管和脑组织。如果在这个过程中发生了什么错误,他们中的一个或两个可能死亡或遭受重大的脑损伤。
Nicole McDonald confirmed the separation was a success Friday on Facebook.
尼科尔周五在脸谱网证实分离手术成功。
But she says the twins, one of whom was still in surgery early that morning, are "definitely not out of the woods by any means."
但她说,当天早上,双胞胎其中之一仍然在手术,完全没有脱离危险。
CNN reports the twins' surgery was the 59th of its kind in the world since 1952. Nicole says the boys will be intubated for at least a week and that doctors will "go from there."
美国有线电视新闻网报道,这对双胞胎类型的手术是1952以来世界上的第59例。妮科尔说,男孩将插管至少一周,医生会时刻照顾。
