title: Urological management.
abstract: The pediatric urologists role is confined to ischio-, para-, and pygopagus conjoined twins. The aim is to preserve renal function, to address problems with urinary continence, and to optimize genital issues with particular reference to sexual and reproductive function. Full urological imaging is essential prior to separation for planning and for the operation itself.
