Prenatal diagnosis

In order to assess the outcome of pregnancies complicated by severe second trimester twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) undergoing treatment with endoscopic laser surgery, we reviewed our experience following the implementation of an institutional fetal surgery program. ⋯ This preliminary experience suggests that selective laser coagulation appears to be a good treatment option in cases of monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated by severe TTTS. However, technical skills and adequate equipment are required for implementing a fetal surgery program. Auditing outcomes during the learning curve would help in identifying potential problems.
