Abstract

Objective: Results after bipolar cord coagulation procedure for selective fetal growth restriction in twin pregnancies. Objects and Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive observational study of 19 cases of selective fetal growth restriction in twin pregnancies undergoing bipolar cord coagulation surgery at the Fetal Intervention Center of Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in 2023-2024. Results: In 19 surgical cases, the postpartum survival rate was 94.4%, and postpartum mortality rate was 5.6% due to extreme prematurity. The average gestational age at birth is 35.4 weeks. Complications such as: rupture of membranes, miscarriage, premature birth, bleeding within 48 hours after surgery were not recorded. Conclusion: Bipolar cord coagulation procedure in selective intrauterine growth restriction is an effective technique, bringing high survival rates.
