Surgical pre and post-operative problems involving the separation of conjoined twins of ischiopagus type make actual the interpretation of a relief coming from the Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala in Florence and dating probably from XIVth century. The work has been sculptured after the death of a couple of ischiopagus twins in the same Hospital in 1316. Their birth is registered in Giovanni Villani's Cronaca and in Petrarca's Rerum Memorandarum Libri.
涉及坐骨连体双胞胎分离的手术前后问题，使得对一件可能来自佛罗伦萨圣玛丽亚·德拉·斯卡拉医院、可追溯到14世纪的浮雕的解读变得切实可行。这件作品是在1316年同一医院一对坐骨连体双胞胎死亡后雕刻而成的。他们的出生记录在乔瓦尼·维拉尼的《编年史》和彼特拉克的《回忆录》中。
