Conjoined Twins Studies

Conjoined twins are two individuals physically connected at birth, often sharing organs or tissues. Studies of conjoined twins help researchers understand how the body develops and how such connections form. By examining their anatomy, genetics, and medical histories, scientists gain insights into embryonic development, organ sharing, and possible surgical separation techniques. These studies also improve medical, surgical, and psychological care for affected twins and contribute to broader knowledge of human growth and variation.
