To evaluate the impact of entry method and access diameter at fetoscopic surgery for twin-twin transfusion syndrome in twin pregnancies with at least one survivor. The outcomes evaluated were prelabour rupture of membranes (PROM) and birth <4 weeks, preterm birth (PTB) <28 weeks, and latency to birth.
