The miracle occurred at 1:29 p.m. on Monday.Neythan and Dylan, the Siamese twins who were born joined at the hip, managed to be successfully separated after a laborious surgery that took at least 5 hours.A team of 25 professionals, including neurosurgeons, cardiologists, anesthesiologists and nurses, worked as if they were one to carry out the extremely complex operation in the operating room of the Goyeneche hospital.Thus, the case of the Siamese twins became the first successful body separation surgery to be performed in Arequipa and outside the capital.Thus, the director of the hospital, José Herrera, affirmed that the operation puts the Goyeneche hospital under the gaze of the country.In that sense, he hopes that the authorities will help push the new hospital project that has been postponed for quite some time.In addition to the team of professionals at the Goyeneche hospital, neurosurgeons from the Honorio Delgado regional hospital and Essalud were called in for the surgery.At the time of the intervention, three teams were prepared to enter as the Siamese operation progressed.The first group was responsible for separating the babies who were intertwined at the hip area.The procedure was carried out by the neurosurgeon Javier Espinoza and also by the doctor Alfredo Paredes, who performed the operation with a specialized surgical microscope, which facilitated the detection of tiny nerves and blood vessels.The compromised area was approximately 7 centimeters.Then, the anatomical structures were closed and the neurosurgeons Jhon Aroquipa, Dr. Romny Pari, Dr. Eyner Román and the neurosurgery resident Eyner Román intervened.And finally, the team of surgeons from the Honorio Delgado and Essalud hospitals, Jorge Luis Almendariz and Abraham Ocharán Miranda, entered, who were in charge of performing the plastic surgery and closing the cuts.Abraham Ocharan closed Dylan's wound with an "advancement flap plasty."The same procedure was carried out by the plastic surgeon Jorge Luis Armendáriz with Neythan.The first to leave the operating room was the youngest of the Siamese twins: Dylan.His little body was no longer attached to his brother's.The staff moved him inside an incubator to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).While his older brother, Neythan, left 15 minutes later for the Intermediate Care room.The parents of the Siamese twins, Keily Zambrano (29) and Luis Lozada (32), of Venezuelan nationality, did not leave the operating room during the entire surgery.In addition, they decided to spend the night in the hospital to be more aware of their children."We never lost hope from the first day and we are grateful to everyone, to the population of Arequipa, to the doctors, the nurses, the director of the hospital and all those who have been attentive since my wife was admitted," the father expressed with emotion. of the babies.The couple has been living in Arequipa for four years.They have a 2-year-old first child and were looking forward to their two twins.Nobody had realized that the babies were conjoined until the moment of the birth that took place on August 23, the mother said.Parents know that there is still a long way to go as children require more surgeries and rehabilitation therapies.For the operation of the Siamese twins to be successful, the human resource and the capacity of the hospital had to be planned.In this sense, the director of the Goyeneche hospital stated that in order to carry out the operation, equipment from other hospitals had to be rented and loaned, such as anesthesia machines, surgical lamps, servo-cradles, neonatal transport ventilators, bipolar electrocautery, microsurgery kits, among other equipment. .It is estimated that the expenses amount to more than 150 thousand soles and it is expected to be financed by the Comprehensive Health Insurance (SIS).The hospital is 109 years old and is the oldest in the region.Like other hospitals with years of service, it has many limitations.Its facilities are very deteriorated, they lack modern technological materials and equipment and those they have are almost obsolete.That is why while the construction of a new hospital is being planned, the purchase of medical equipment is made to improve the resolution capacity of the hospital.Also follow us on our social networks:Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and also on YouTubeYour email address will not be published.Required fields are marked with *Who we are |Contact |Donations |Shop |Subscriptions |File |advertise with usAll rights reserved for Empresa Editora Milenio SAC 2022Design by Maketa |Hosted by Open Comet
