Conjoined pygopagus accounts for about 17% of all conjoined twins and commonly share the gluteal region, terminal spine, lower gastrointestinal, urological, and reproductive tracts. This makes their separation a very challenging task. We report herein pygopagus twins who had minimal fusion in coccygeal region and could be separated without a complicated procedure. The case is being reported to add to the literature and emphasize that simple fusion in conjoined twins can be relatively easy to manage.
臀部联体双胎约占所有联体双胎的17%,通常共享臀区、终末脊柱、下消化道、泌尿系统和生殖道。这使得分离手术极具挑战性。我们在此报告一对臀部联体双胎,其尾骨区域融合极少,可通过简单手术分离。现将该病例报告于此,以丰富文献并强调联体双胎中简单融合情况相对易于处理。
