Surgery Was Not An Option

Yes, you’re all wondering how the anatomy works with these conjoined twins. So, they do share one body but with separate organs. As far as vital organs go, each twin has her own lungs, spinal cord, spine, stomach and heart. However, there is only one reproductive system. Thus, surgery to separate them at birth would have proved extremely dangerous and risky.

Unique Case

Well, we all realize this case is unique..but just how unique? For twins to be conjoined, there’s only a one in 189,000 chance. On top of that, the Hensel twins are dicephalic parapagus twins, which means conjoined with separate heads and one body. Dicephalic parapagus twins account for a mere 11 percent of conjoined twins. Unbelievable!
