Last Update: 02/09/2022

In the case of a two-chorionic gestation in which each fetus has its own placenta, it will be necessary to extract the chorionic villi from each of them. Depending on the position of each fetus in the uterus, it may be necessary to use both methods, i.e. transcervical and transabdominal.
