Abstract:PurposeTwin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a condition wherein monochorionic twins share a common placenta with placental anastomoses between the two foetal circulations.

This study aimed to determine whether fetoscopic laser ablation (FLA) can reduce the risk of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and whether TTTS was a risk factor for ROP.MethodsThis single‐centre, retrospective, comparative study included 32 monochorionic twins with TTTS matched for gest… Show more
