In August 2020, twin girls were born in Israel. They never saw each other because they were joined at the head. Last week, they could look at each other for the first time.

(Bulan Agustus 2020, bayi perempuan kembar lahir di Israel. Mereka tidak pernah saling melihat karena kepala mereka bersatu. Minggu lalu, mereka saling melihat untuk pertama kalinya.)

A team of experts from Israel and other countries spent a year planning a surgery which would separate the girls. It was a complicated surgery, and the team used 3D and virtual reality models to plan it. Doctors performed this surgery only twenty times in the world, and it was the first time that they did it in Israel.

(Selama setahun sebuah tim ahli dari Israel dan negara lain merencanakan operasi pemisahan bayi. Itu adalah operasi yang sulit, dan tim menggunakan model 3 dimensi dan realitas maya. Dokter melakukan operasi seperti ini baru dua puluh kali di dunia, dan pertama kalinya di Israel.)

Months before the surgery, doctors put silicone bags into the girls´ heads which lengthened their skin. After the doctors reconstructed the skulls, they used the new skin to close the heads. The surgery took 12 hours, and it was successful. The girls will live normal lives.

(Berbulan sebelum operasi, dokter menaruh kantong silikon di kepala bayi untuk merenggangkan kulit mereka. Setelah itu dokter membentuk tengkorak, mereka memakai kulit baru untuk menutupi kepala. Operasi ini berlangsung selama 12 jam, dan berhasil. Kedua bayi akan hidup normal.)

Kata-kata sulit: joined (menyatu), silicone (silikon), skull (tengkorak).
