Characteristics of the study groups
Total 145 selective termination of complicated monochorionic multiple
pregnancies were conducted successfully, 116 through fetal abdomen and
29 through fetal back. 133 procedures were carried out in MC twins and
11 in triplets with a MC pair and 1 MC quadruplet.Figure 1 shows the
Color Doppler before and after ablation of the two needle insertion
angles. Table 1 shows the obstetric characteristics of the pregnant
women in the two groups. Maternal age and gestational age at procedure
were similar between the two groups.TTTS was the most common indication
for the selective reduction in the two groups.
