Abstract
Conjoined pygopagus twins are very rare. They represent about 17% of all conjoined twins and commonly share the gluteal region, terminal spine, and lower gastrointestinal, urological, and reproductive tracts. Meticulous preoperative investigations and planning as well as a multispecialty team approach contribute to the success of surgical separation. We report a case of successful surgical separation of pygopagus conjoined twins.Entities:
