Abstrakt: | Objectives: To evaluate the incidence of residual anastomoses (RA) after laser therapy for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTS) and investigate risk factors for incomplete laser surgery. Material and Methods: All available TTS placentas treated with laser at our center between 2002 and 2016 were injected with color dye to assess the presence of RA. We evaluated the incidence of RA over the past 15 years by dividing the cohort into three time periods, and studied the association with risk factors and neonatal outcome. Results: Overall, RA were detected in 21.0% (78/371) of placentas. The incidence of RA decreased from 38.8% (26/67) in the initial period to 11.7% (16/137) in the most recent period (p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, several risk factors were independently associated with the risk of RA, including Solomon laser technique (odds ratio [OR] 0.17, 95% CI 0.09-0.33) and estimation of surgical success (OR 19.28, 95% CI 8.17-45.49). Premature delivery and neonatal morbidity occurred more often in TTS cases with RA. Conclusions: The incidence of RA after laser therapy for TTS decreased significantly in the past 15 years and is now below 15% due to the use of the Solomon technique. (© 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel.) |
