Abstract
The evolution of ultrasound and the introduction of 3- and 4-dimensional ultrasound techniques led to a shift in the perception and usage of ultrasound in fetal medicine. The biplane mode might help in multiple fetal procedures, including but not limited to basic intrauterine thoracocentesis, thoracoamniotic shunting, amnioreduction, amnioinfusion, cordocentesis, intraumbilical infusion, and umbilical cord coagulation, with a possible reduction in the complication rate. Despite its theoretical usefulness, more studies are required to assess the clinical importance of this technique.
