Abstract
The first 100 patients undergoing first trimester transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (placental biopsy) in our hospital are reviewed. At the time of follow up 24 patients had delivered, 68 pregnancies were at 24 weeks or more and progressing normally, 7 pregnancies were terminated and there was only 1 spontaneous miscarriage. The advantages of the transabdominal approach are discussed.Keywords
