The Importance of Physiotherapy After Separation Surgery in Pygopagus Conjoined Twins

This study aimed to evaluate the neuromotor development of conjoined twins who acquired independent bodies, lives, and movements as a result of separation surgery, and to examine the effect of postoperative physiotherapy intervention on gross motor function.
