Abstract

The management of soft tissue injuries of the face is best approached in an organized manner. The goal is early functional and cosmetic rehabilitation. The steps to be undertaken should be: initial evaluation, planning, repair and follow-up. Thorough cleansing with minimal debridement, use of fine suture material and early suture removal are some of the important principles.

Successful separation of pygopagus conjoined twins and primary skin closure using V-shaped flaps.

Pygopagus conjoined twins were born by caesarean section at 34 weeks of gestation. Initial evaluation revealed no other abnormalities apart from their attachment at lower back, buttocks and perineum. They had two separate anal and urogenital openings. Their investigations included roentgenograms, ultrasound, barium enema, cystourethrogram, CT scan and MRI. There were two separate spinal columns fused distally at the lower sacral level. Lower gastrointestinal studies showed two separate rectums and cystourethrogram showed normal and separate urinary tracts. MRI showed a single dural sac between two fused sacral bones with no other vertebral anomalies. They were successfully separated with primary skin closure using V-shaped flaps.
