Abstract

Recent studies have shown that laser therapy can reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome in the second trimester of pregnancy. The purpose of this paper is to analyse current treatment strategies using laser surgery, and to suggest ways in which fetal mortality may be further reduced.
