Abstract
Placental damage is positively associated with more laser energy but negatively associated with higher power setting. More placental damage was associated with a lower GA at birth, shorter laser-to-delivery interval and higher PPROM rate. Whether these results should lead to a change in surgical technique requires more research, both further ex-vivo experiments on human placentas and clinical studies.
