Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, we will review the history and the evolution of the technique of amniocentesis and the indications of the most common invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. Moreover, the most common complications of amniocentesis will be presented. Finally, we will try to establish if the use of concurrent ultrasound had any effect on the prevalence on these complications. How to cite this article Theodora M, Antsaklis P, Antsaklis A.
