Just FYI

I have had a lot of people asking me questions about the surgery (fetoscopic laser ablation) or about TTS (twin-twin transfusion syndrome, sometimes called TTTS, depending if they count twin-twin as one word or two!) so I have added a link here with a basic overview.

Here is a video, although there is very little information in it. There is more detail in the article the video goes with.

Also, Texas Children's Hospital has a lot of information on laser ablation treatment of TTTS. Amnio reduction is by far the more prevalent treatment, but the success seems much higher with laser ablation. Until we know how severely our babies' TTTS is, we will not make a decision on which treatment we opt for.
