Presentation Title:

Jesus prayers applied in separation of craniopagus twins (medical innovation and distress elimination by contemplation)

Abstract

Purpose: Challenging cases in neurosurgery require experience, which is gained by operating on a number of similarly difficult cases. However, even in large population centers, there are extremely rare cases, such as craniopagus twins. In these instances, other case-specific solutions are required which were improved in the course of fresh cadaver practice on daily base.
Methods: During a 20-month preparation period by fresh cadavers the surgical strategy was developed step by step, comprising five neurosurgical ideas, facilitated by deep Jesus prayers as a spiritual source.
Results: During surgery, these nuances proved to be useful, which is also reflected by the postoperative clinical results. One of the twins advanced to a GOS score of 5three months after the surgery. The other twin, despite nonsurgical septic complications, continued to progress well, but on postoperative day 33 for seemingly unknown reasons, she suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage, which significantly delayed her rehabilitation.
Conclusions:  The Jesus Prayer written in the title was the greatest help and spiritual strength during our preparation (300 autopsy exercises) and during the 24 hours of surgery. It was a real experience that the scientific ideas  were born during Jesus prayers and also the serious professional decisions during surgery. This was the truth, and it is precisely in science that we must not deny the facts, because science, including psychology, is also searching for the truth, for the movements of the soul and its role in intellectual, even scientific, decisions.
