Abstract

Abstract: Although nurses plays a vital role in perioperative preparation and management, no nursing literature is available regarding intraoperative preparations for surgery on a conjoined twin. We report the perioperative preparation and nursing management for an emergency nonseparation surgery for a pair of craniopagus conjoined twins.
