People often ask how Gemini Untwined came about.     In 2006, Gemini Untwined trustees Professors Richard Hayward and David Dunaway were referred a set of craniopagus twins, still in the womb.    Having no experience in such separation surgeries, they contacted New York colleagues, neurosurgeon Jim Goodrich and plastic surgeon David Staffenberg, who came to London to help with the first and last of four staged procedures in 2006.    The series of surgeries took place at Great Ormond Street and was one of several pioneering craniopagus separations that helped pave the way for the even more complex cases performed in recent years - and led to the founding of Gemini Untwined by Professor Owase Jeelani in 2018.    #ConjoinedTwins #GOSH #GeminiUntwined
