Multifetal pregnancy reduction and selective termination.

Abstract:

:MPR and ST are important options for patients who have multifetal pregnancies. Both procedures have been shown to be technically safe and result in acceptable pregnancy loss rates and GAs at delivery. An important caveat is that these findings are observed in centers that have vast experience performing this type of procedure and should not be generalized to all centers. The authors believe that the good outcomes reported here and elsewhere are a result of having a relatively limited number of operators adhering to a strict common protocol and that they should not be generalized to all centers. Awareness of the ethical and psychological issues aids counseling of patients and their follow-up, but more information is needed in this area. Finally, it is the authors' hope that advances in ART will decrease the need for MPR procedures in the future.
