Separation of conjoined twins: a case study in critical care.

Abstract
Conjoined twinning, one of the rarest and perhaps most fascinating congenital malformations in children, presents a major challenge to the healthcare team. This article describes a case study of the course of female omphalopagus twins. Favorable anatomy and the combined expertise of nurses, physicians, and supporting hospital staff during perinatal, neonatal, surgical, and postoperative care and management led to the successful separation of these conjoined twins.
