Conjoined twins Keylee Ann and Zoey Marie Miller were separated during an eight-hour operation at the Monroe Carell Jr. Childrenâ€™s Hospital at Vanderbilt on April 7. The surgery, the first of its kind at Vanderbilt, involved a team of 30 medical, surgical and nursing personnel.

" Because there were two patients, two full surgical teams had to be present in the operating room. Both girls possessed all the essential blood vessels and connectors, so each had her own completely functional liver without the need for complex repair. Their recovery has been uncomplicated, although Zoey must return at a later date for another heart surgery. "
