Fetoscopic and laser photocoagulation in intergemelar transfusion syndrome: in what stage do it? systematic review of the literature
Keywords:
Intergemelar transfusion, Photocoagulation laser treatment, Monochorionic gemelarAbstract
Objetive: To conduct a systematic review of the literature to define, as rated by Quintero et al., the best stage for treatment with endoscopic laser photocoagulation syndrome twin-twin transfusion. Results: From 67 studies, a total of 32 studies met our inclusion criteria, and a systematic review of the literature technique was used to study the 8 randomized controlled trials involving 951 women with monochorionic twin pregnancy and twin-twin transfusion syndrome. The survival observed in the syndrome of twin-twin transfusion treated with laser surgery fetoscopic was overall 67 % for both fetuses and 85 % for one fetus; results still far from satisfactory, because mortality rates range from 20 % to 48 %, without defining the stage on which to perform the procedure. Conclusions: Laser photocoagulation under fetoscopic guide seems to be the optimal treatment for stages II to IV, does not depending on the surgical technique; without adequately delimiting the best stadium to perform this procedure.
