Abstract
Aims: We have performed fetoscopic laser occlusion of chorioangiopagous vessels (FLOC) in previable pregnancies affected by twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) since 1988. Treatment outcomes obtained after the procedure's learning curve are presented and compared to those from other centers performing FLOC or other treatment methods.Keywords
