Twin-To-Twin Transfusion Syndrome

The book begins with an interesting jumping-off point: “Where did we come from?” Unlike other books of this type, this one takes a more historical perspective, which makes it an interesting read and helps readers appreciate the topic that much more. Middle chapters focus on the pathophysiology, and the text and illustrations provide sufficient heft to this section. Throughout it all, the book maintains an evidence-based format with very recent and pertinent references. This was illustrated particularly well in the description of TAPS and TOPS. There are chapters devoted to aspects that I had not previously considered (despite reading many different books on the subject) – for example, maternal nutrition and the cervix. These are great examples of going further than a simple summary manuscript. Certainly, a good portion of this book is devoted to treatment and outcomes and it does a good job, as well.
