Popis: | Conjoined pygopagus accounts for about 17% of all conjoined twins and commonly share the gluteal region, terminal spine, lower gastrointestinal, urological, and reproductive tracts. This makes their separation a very challenging task. We report herein pygopagus twins who had minimal fusion in coccygeal region and could be separated without a complicated procedure. The case is being reported to add to the literature and emphasize that simple fusion in conjoined twins can be relatively easy to manage. |
