A new technique for sampling fetal blood in twin pregnancies using two fetoscopes simultaneously is described. Two fetoscopes were inserted, one after the other, into both amniotic cavities and fetal blood samples were obtained from either the chorionic plate vessels or the umbilical cord insertion area. The observation of the bright tip of the second fetoscope behind the septum using the first fetoscope assured the successful entry of the two fetoscopes into the two different amniotic sacs. This technique was performed on 15 out of 17 patients. In all patients the fetuses were at risk of beta-thalassemia major. Sampling was successful in all cases. Double simultaneous fetoscopy seems to be a safe and accurate technique without technical problems or complications. The simultaneous use of two fetoscopes opens new possibilities in intrauterine fetal surgery and research.
