Full-body impression technique for conjoined twins: A clinical report.

This clinical report describes a unique impression technique devised for fabrication of a full-body cast of conjoined twins. The authors describe how the cast was used by the medical team to plan the surgical flap design for effective abdominal wall closure during the 27-hour operation sequence that resulted in the twins' separation. The cast, in turn, proved invaluable in planning the complicated surgical procedures necessary to separate them.
