Management of conjoined twins involves non-operative, emergency, or elective separation. Comprehensive planning meetings and radiological assessments are crucial for successful surgical separation and intensive care.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Care
  • Surgical Planning

Background:

  • Conjoined twins present unique surgical challenges requiring specialized management.
  • Existing literature highlights the complexity of separating conjoined twins.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the distinct management strategies for conjoined twins.
  • To emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary team planning in separation surgeries.
  • To detail the critical radiological, anesthetic, nursing, and intensive care considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Categorization of conjoined twin management into three approaches: non-operative, emergency separation, and elective separation.
  • Conducting pre-operative planning meetings with all involved personnel.
  • Reviewing radiological findings to inform surgical strategy.
Keywords:

    • Radiological findings, anesthetic, nursing, and intensive care needs are systematically addressed.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of conjoined twins relies on a structured approach.
    • Thorough pre-operative planning and consideration of all clinical aspects are essential for optimal outcomes.
    • This framework ensures comprehensive care for conjoined twins requiring separation.
