Abstract

Thirty-two multifetal pregnancies were reduced to twin gestations. Our control group was composed of 32 spontaneous twin gestations. The comparison of these two groups did not show that the procedure altered obstetrical results as far as duration of gestation, birth weight and rate of dismaturity are concerned.
