美国一对13个月大的双胞胎男婴阿尼亚斯与杰登(Anias & Jadon McDonald)，和其他宝宝一样有着可爱天真无邪的笑容以及圆滚滚大眼，但唯一不同的是，他们是头脑相连的连体婴。

Extraordinary: Anias and Jadon McDonald underwent surgery to be separated. Surgeons placed expanding tissues in their heads months before to stretch the skin so there would be enough for them to stitch each on back up individually afterwards

Anias was still in surgery late on Friday morning since he was more affected by the separation of their brain tissue. He eventually came out the operating room at 1pm on Friday

他们的父母37岁的克里斯提安(Christian)和31岁的妮可(Nicole)几经思考后，决定进行分离手术(250万美金，约8千万新台币)，为了两兄弟将来，即使可能会因此失去儿子，他们仍只能忍痛赌一把。

这项手术由颅部联胎(craniopagus)权威古瑞奇医生(James Goodrich)操刀，手术中最困难的部分，就是必须分离双胞胎脑中共享的血管，一个不小心，可能造成大量失血。

Happy: Nicole, 31, and 37-year-old Christian, insisted the boys were perfect as they were

Based on national statistics, it is astonishing they have made it to 13 months. Around 40 per cent of craniopagus twins are stillborn. Of those that survive, a third die within 24 hours

根据描述，医生每下一刀，阿尼亚斯的心跳及脉搏就越来越薄弱，后来医生甚至一度打算暂停手术，因为两兄弟脑袋中共享的血管及组织比之前照3D所呈现的还多。

Doctors have spent the last few months placing tissue expanders in the boys' head to make it easier to separate them, leaving enough skin to stitch each head back up. The difficult process will be separating the tangled veins the boys share, not dissimilar to that in this diagram

幸好，在历经将近20小时的马拉松接力手术后，两人成功分开了，不过当杰登顺利推出手术房时，阿尼亚斯仍在奋战中，几个小时后，他平安无事地回到了家人身边。

妮可立刻在脸书上和上千名关心两兄弟手术的网友们报平安，她说过去十几个小时都在一片未知当中，「我一直到最后平安了才忍不住哭出来，我甚至没有办法好好对医生说出简单的谢谢你」。

不过一家人还无法就此放心，因为接下来几个月，是阿尼亚斯与杰登的重要恢复期，关系着他们能否顺利存活下去，不过他们十分乐观，也已经准备好展开一段漫长的奋斗旅程。
