          Abstract

          Preterm delivery after fetoscopic laser surgery (FLS) for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a major complication. The causative factors leading to preterm delivery continue to be elusive and a better understanding of the risk factors could reduce complications. The objective of this study was to determine the etiology of preterm delivery after FLS for TTTS and its associated risk factors.
