Laparoscopy-assisted fetoscopy for laser surgery in twin-twin transfusion syndrome with anterior placentation.

The article presents a study which compares laparoscopy-assisted fetoscopic approach with ultrasound-directed percutaneous approach for laser surgery in twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) with anterior placentation. This study involved the review of related data from Texas Children's Fetal Center from November 2006 to November 2008. It concludes that an improved neonatal survival for laser surgery on TTTS with anterior placentation has been manifested by the laparoscopy-assisted entry.
