    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • Conjoined twins present unique and complex management challenges.
    • High rates of morbidity and mortality are associated with conjoined twin pregnancies.
    • Previous management strategies for locked twins have yielded suboptimal outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and analyze the clinical experience with managing locked twins.
    • To propose a preemptive management strategy for locked twins.
    • To reduce the morbidity associated with locked twin presentations.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 4 cases of locked twins.
    • Review of surgical and non-surgical management strategies.
    • Evaluation of patient outcomes and complications.
