Three-year-olds Bernardo and Arthur Lima underwent surgeries in Rio de Janeiro, with direction from Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.
The teams spent months trialling techniques using virtual reality projections of the twins, based on CT and MRI scans.
It was described by surgeon Noor ul Owase Jeelani as "space-age stuff".
He said that, for the first time, surgeons in separate countries wore headsets and operated in the same "virtual reality room" together.
