How to Manually Reduce Twins Between 60 and 120 Days Gestation Using Cranio-Cervical Dislocation

摘要

Cranio-cervical dislocation between 60-110 days of gestation appears to be a viable new method for twin reduction by either rectal manipulation or flank laparotomy. This alternative procedure does not compromise the integrity of the uterus or damage the remaining fetus. By performing the twin reduction before placentation is complete, the remaining fetus is allowed to grow to its full potential, producing a healthier normal sized foal at birth.
