Conjoined Twins
The condition that causes conjoined twins is very rare, but has a powerful impact. The surgery process is long and overwhelming. When performing surgery, there can be a team of up to 50 surgeons. Babies get conjoined when a single fertilized ovum has divided imperfectly. In some cases twins make it out alive, but in others they die before they have a chance to get surgery.

The scans are to identify if the brains connected and if they are then surgery is very difficult. The next step is to get a physical 3D model of the brain so surgeons can study the arteries and veins. Surgeons states that "If one twin ends up with too many veins, its heart will collapse; leave a twin with too few veins, and its brain will swell with blood. Making it extremely difficult when it comes to untangling the veins." (Jabr, Ferris). Most likely conjoined twins, share a skull not a brain, don't share arteries, but their veins are very tangled …show more content…
In some situations twins don't make it out alive and it's also very rare for them to survive. For conjoined twins, Knatalye Hope and Adeline Faith Mata, they shared a chest wall, lungs, part of their heart lining, diaphragm, liver, colon, intestines and pelvic area. That made the twins have a very small chance of making it through surgery. During surgery there was some complication such as, "Adeline's blood pressure fell to the point when the surgical team had to manually pump her heart to resuscitate her. She recovered after five to eight minutes." After surgery Knatalye Hope and Adeline Faith Mata were in critical condition, but are set out to survive." (Kiran, Randhawa). The surgery lasted over 26 hours but they twins
