This conjecture was proved by Ma and Yu for graphs containing $K_4^-$, and an important step in their proof is to deal with a 5-separation in the graph with a planar side. In order to establish the Kelmans-Seymour conjecture for all graphs, we need to consider 5-separations and 6-separations with less restrictive structures. The goal of this paper is to deal with special 5-separations and 6-separations, including those with an apex side.
