1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington.
Abstract:
Assisted Reproduction techniques have become well-established methods of treating infertility in the decade since their inception. The gradually improving efficacy of these procedures has made the risks of multiple pregnancy a serious concern.
