Early laser surgery is not associated with very preterm delivery or reduced neonatal survival in TTTS

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the association of laser photocoagulation of placental anastomoses (LPA) prior to 18 weeks' gestation (early LPA) with very preterm delivery and neonatal survival in pregnancies with twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Methods This was a retrospective cohort st...

Summary:ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the association of laser photocoagulation of placental anastomoses (LPA) prior to 18 weeks' gestation (early LPA) with very preterm delivery and neonatal survival in pregnancies with twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies with TTTS undergoing LPA between 2002 and 2018 at two institutions. The rates of delivery
