Abstract

Key pointsWhat's already known about this topic?

Twin to twin syndrome (TTTS) is a serious complication of monochorionic twin pregnancy

The treatment of choice is fetoscopic laser ablation of placental anastamoses

Simulation plays an important role in teaching this high‐acuity procedure

What does this study add?

We report the development of a high‐fidelity digital simulation system for teaching TTTS fetoscopic lasers

Remote teaching has been demonstrated to work well with this system

This simulator is robust, easy to store and assemble and relatively inexpensive.
