| Popis: | To study the perinatal outcome after fetal reduction in multiple gestations This is a retrospective study of 12 patients who underwent fetal reduction for multiple gestations. The ultrasound-guided procedure was done transabdominally. Of the 12 patients who underwent fetal reduction, one had spontaneous abortion following the procedure while the other 11 delivered live babies. Multiple gestations have an adverse neonatal outcome. By reducing the high-order pregnancies to twin gestations, the associated complications can be reduced. Ultrasound-guided fetal reduction is safe and effective method for reduction of multifetal gestations to twins or singleton, and improving the pregnancy outcome. |
