The Solomon technique of fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) for Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) has been introduced to reduce residual anastomoses; however, it is considered to be associated with increased placental damage and complications. We aimed to compare the outcomes of monochorionic twins who underwent FLP for TTTS using the Solomon technique and those who underwent selective coagulation of placental anastomoses. The Solomon technique reduced the incidence of recurrent TTTS and TAPS but increased the incidence of placental abruption and PROM after FLP. [Extracted from the article]

Some fetal therapies are performed as clinical useful treatments, despite other fetal therapies still being considered experimental treatments. Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) has been performed in Japan since 2002 and was approved for coverage in April 2012 based on a study showing a 90% survival rate of at least 1 twin among 181 consecutive FLP cases treated between 2002 and 2006.
