In the past 40 years, the percentage of twin pregnancies has increased by almost a third as a result of a rise in medically assisted reproduction and delayed childbearing. [1] Of the 1.6 million twin pairs born around the globe every year, %15% are monochorionic (MC), i.e., they share the same placenta. [2] These pregnancies present more frequent complications than dichorionic twins that develop with separate placentas. [3] One of these complications arises from vascular anastomoses that connect the blood circulation systems of both fetuses to the placenta. Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) affects 10-15% of MC multiple pregnancies and is characterized by a chronic, imbalanced blood flow from the donor to the recipient twin, which results in a disproportionate nutrient supply. [4] If left untreated, the consequences of TTTS are severe, leading to a mid-trimester mortality rate of up to 95%. [5] State-of-the-art treatment of TTTS involves fetoscopic laser coagulation of the placental anastomoses. Under ultrasound guidance, the surgeon identifies a safe entry site in the maternal abdomen from which a fetoscope is inserted through a trocar (typically 2.2-4 mm in diameter; 7-12 French [6] ) into the recipient's amniotic sac. The fetoscope consists of a camera and a working channel to deliver laser light through an optical fiber at the desired location. Before the surgeon ablates the vessels, the vascular architecture is scrutinized and the connecting vessels are identified. Subsequently, all identified anastomoses are coagulated with a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) or diode laser such that the MC circulation is converted into two independent vascular systems. [7] To ensure no small vessels are missed, the laser is repeatedly fired along a line connecting all the coagulation points from one placental border to the other (known as the Solomon technique). [5,8,9] Mortality rates still range from 20% to 48% after this surgical procedure and significant complications are reported in 6-18% of surviving newborns. [10] Neurological damage to the fetus is also more likely to occur in technically difficult cases. [8] As the procedure is demanding, outcomes are also dependent on the surgeon experience. [7,10] Cases with anterior placentas (i.e., located on the abdominal side of the uterus) constitute a major challenge, even for experienced surgeons. Good access and visualization of anterior placentas are difficult with rigid endoscopes. [11] This can prevent complete coagulation, which,
