Abstract
Pygopagus conjoined twins are very rare, and half of all pygopagus twins have other anomalies. This report describes the successful surgical separation of pygopagus twins who had a conjoined thecal sac and an epidermal cyst. Meticulous preoperative planning, development of a model simulator, multispecialty teamwork, and a staged surgery contributed to a successful outcome.Mesh：
