Other indications include twin anemia-polycythemia sequence and, as an intrafetal application, twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence. As an experimental approach, intrafetal laser therapy can be used to close the feeding blood vessel of unwanted tissue, thus preventing further tissue growth. Despite the advantages of fetal laser therapy, it presents challenges such as preterm premature rupture of membranes, preterm birth, technical difficulties, and the need for specialized expertise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2025-0191_abs_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Laser therapy has become a cornerstone of fetal medicine, demonstrating significant clinical benefits.
