The King Abdullah Specialist Children’s Hospital(KASCH) classification of anatomical gastrointestinal tract (GI) anomalies in conjoined twins

In brief

This study presents a novel classification system for gastrointestinal tract anomalies in conjoined twins, developed from clinical experience at King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital. The classification aims to standardize anatomical descriptions and support surgical planning for this rare and complex patient population.

• KASCH classification system provides standardized framework for categorizing GI tract anomalies in conjoined twins
• Anatomical GI variations in conjoined twins require systematic classification to guide surgical planning and separation strategies
• Understanding GI tract anatomy patterns in conjoined twins is essential for preoperative assessment and multidisciplinary care coordination
