Abstract

OBJECTIVE

There are conflicting data on whether fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) of placental anastomoses for the treatment of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is associated with lower rates of overall survival. The objective of this study was to characterize twin survival and associated morbidity according to the gestational age at which FLP was performed.
