Placental vessel segmentation and registration in fetoscopy: Literature review and MICCAI FetReg2021 challenge findings [PDF]
Fetoscopy laser photocoagulation is a widely adopted procedure for treating Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). The procedure involves photocoagulation pathological anastomoses to restore a physiological blood exchange among twins. The procedure is

Benefits and complications of fetal and postnatal surgery for open spina bifida: systematic review and proportional meta-analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To derive pooled estimates of maternal, fetal and pediatric outcomes up to the age of 30 months in patients undergoing pre‐ or postnatal surgery for open spina bifida (OSB). Methods A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, PubMed (non‐MEDLINE records), Embase, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, Cochrane Central Register of ...

Retrieval and registration of long-range overlapping frames for scalable mosaicking of in vivo fetoscopy [PDF]
PurposeThe standard clinical treatment of Twin-to-Twin transfusion syndrome consists in the photo-coagulation of undesired anastomoses located on the placenta which are responsible to a blood transfer between the two twins.

Performance of a Flexible Versus Rigid Fetoscope in the Simulated Management of Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To assess the feasibility and operative performance of a flexible fetoscope (FF) compared with a rigid fetoscope (RF) in the simulated management of twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) with anterior placentation. Method A randomized, non‐blinded crossover trial was conducted during a national training session for fetal surgeons.
