Summary

The investigators propose a standardized prenatal management, based on the scientific evidence published in the literature, to manage prenatally fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO). The present study is a prospective registry that will evaluate and validate this standardized prenatal management for LUTO.

Conditions

  • Urethral Obstruction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fetal Intervention for LUTO

Fetal vesico-amniotic shunting placement consists in placing a shunt (stent) percutaneously from fetal bladder to the amniotic cavity under ultrasound guidance. Fetal cystoscopy will be performed using a thin scope that will be introduced to the fetal bladder for evaluation of the cause of the obstruction and ablation of the posterior urethral valves.
