It is needless to say that all women are warriors. Albeit, pregnant women are something else: powerful, inspirational, one of Mother Nature’s miracles.

However, the idea of pregnancy goes beyond joyous pictures posted on social media and amusing chats about back pains and big tummies. However, the idea of pregnancy goes beyond joyous pictures. It is one of the most complex human processes, whose understanding and untangling became the main goal of obstetrics and gynaecology. The specialists in this field deal with hundreds of different events that require them to always be one step ahead of every scenario that can take place.

In this joint conference, we will explore a specific type of pregnancy – monochorionic pregnancy, in which two fetuses share a single placenta. A single placenta normally supports a single fetus. When the situation arises in which two fetuses have to share a single placenta, complications may sometimes develop. The condition is more frequent than you’d think – 70% of identical twins may end up sharing a single placenta, but only 1% share both a single placenta and a single sac, and this poses significant risk. One of the treatment options for complications arising from this condition is Fetoscopic Laser Treatment, which is performed by using a small laparoscope-like instrument called a fetoscope, which is inserted into the uterus in order to see the fetus and placenta.
