FIRST TRIMESTER DIAGNOSIS AND EARLY IN UTERO TREATMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE UROPATHY
1989
The earliest diagnosis and treatment of obstructed fetal bladder is reported. Placement of vesico-amniotic shunt at 14.5 weeks of gestation enabled preservation of bilateral renal function and maintenance of normal amniotic fluid volume with normal pulmonary development. The shunt functioned adequately for more than 12 weeks. At birth, a mild ‘prune’ belly was the only deformity noted.
