Experience with different techniques of laser coagulation of placental anastomoses to relieve feto-fetal transfusion syndrome in monochorionic diamniotic twins
Abstract:Introduction. In recent years, the problem of multiple fetuses has become particularly important, which is associated with a steady increase in the frequency of multiple pregnancies worldwide. The feto-fetal transfusion syndrome (FFTS) is a classic example of unbalanced functioning of placental anastomoses, which leads to transfusion between fetuses. The incidence of this syndrome in a group of monochorionic diamniotic twins ranges from 8% to 15% and, in the absence of timely diagnosis and intrauterine correct… Show more
