You could think of it as a liver transplant, except the transplanted part of the organ is already in the recipient’s body. With livers, you can transplant a portion and it will still be a functional liver.

There may be some connections that need to be made in other parts of the system like the gallbladder or intestine.

Essentially, it is likely neither twin has a complete liver, they each have a portion of the one liver.
