Patient's question:
I am currently pregnant with twins, but the doctor at the hospital told me that there is twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. I am very anxious now and would like to ask where twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome is treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your ultrasound, if the twins have hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), the child with a larger abdomen and more amniotic fluid may have heart failure, while the child with a smaller abdomen and less amniotic fluid may have kidney failure. As long as one of the twins is in danger of life, the first twin may also have the same blood type because their placentas are the same. It must be handled with caution. Laser coagulation can improve perinatal survival rates and reduce the incidence of nervous system disorders compared to continuous amnioreduction.
