The Effect of Uterine Entry In Fetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation for Twin-To-Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Sponsor: Baylor College of Medicine
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the entry technique surgeons use to get inside the uterus to perform fetoscopic laser photocoagulation for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome has an effect on the rates of chorioamniotic membrane separation.

Fetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation
Patients who choose to undergo fetoscopic selective laser photocoagulation for complicated monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancies with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome will be offered participation in the study. All participants will undergo selective laser photocoagulation and entry into the uterus will be achieved using one of two accepted methods, either direct entry or the Seldinger technique.
