We report the largest single-center experience of laser coagulation in TTTS. We observed a continuous increase in double-twin survival rate owing to the growing experience based on the learning curve and refinements in fetoscopic instruments and techniques. These data provide strong arguments for the centralization of minimally invasive intrauterine surgery in specialized high-volume centers. Copyright © 2017 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
