The Solomon laser technique achieves TTTS resolution and double twin survival in a high proportion of cases. Recipient and donor survival is comparable unless there is significant intertwin size discordance and placental dysfunction. This degree of unequal placental sharing, typically found in Stage-III TTTS, is the primary factor preventing double survival due to a higher rate of donor demise. © 2024 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
