Fetal lower urinary tract obstruction [LUTO] represents a rare, heterogeneous group of uropathies involving mechanical or functional blockage at the bladder outlet of varying severity.

Sonographic assessment of renal appearance and ...

Lower urinary tract obstruction is defined as partial or complete obstruction of the urinary tract at the level of the urethra and the bladder.

Hydronephrosis is one of the most common abnormalities detected on routine prenatal ultrasounds, being noted in up to 1% of fetuses. Rarely, severe hydronephrosis coexists with oligohydramnios, which portends a poor prognosis. We review the most recent literature on the results of prenatal intervention in this setting. Presently, the first randomized controlled trial to address whether prenatal...

متن کاملPercutaneous vesicoamniotic shunting versus conservative management for fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (PLUTO): a randomised trial
BACKGROUND Fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is associated with high perinatal and long-term childhood mortality and morbidity. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of vesicoamniotic shunting for treatment of LUTO. METHODS In a randomised trial in the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands, women whose pregnancies with a male fetus were complicated by isolated LUTO were randomly assigned...
