The studies and their sequence should be carefully planned based on the type of fixation, associated anomalies and need for immediate separation. The current excellent outcomes, even in difficult cases of conjoined twinning, suggest that separation should always be considered, with rare exception. Carefully planned and rehearsed operations approached by a team of surgeons, anesthesiologists and skilled nurses should yield a high success rate in separating conjoined twins who otherwise would lead a life of ridicule and deformity.
应根据固定类型、相关异常情况以及立即分离的必要性，仔细规划研究及其顺序。目前，即使在联体双胎的困难病例中也取得了出色的治疗效果，这表明除极少数情况外，分离手术总是应予以考虑。由外科医生、麻醉师和熟练护士组成的团队精心规划并预演的手术，在分离联体双胎时应能取得很高的成功率，否则这些联体双胎将过着遭人嘲笑和畸形的生活。
