Key Clinical Message Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation ( FLP ) of placental anastomoses is a well‐established procedure for twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome that improves fetal outcome with rare maternal complications. However, fetal hydrops can develop even after FLP , and mirror syndrome can occur, indicating that both the fetal and maternal courses should be monitored after FLP .
