Retrospective analysis examines outcomes of vesicoamniotic shunting in fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction, suggesting timing influences results.

Key Points

This study assesses the risks and benefits of vesicoamniotic shunting at different gestational ages for fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction.
Retrospective analysis of 104 fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction
Fetuses categorized by timing of vesicoamniotic shunting: early, intermediate, and late
Outcomes measured include maternal morbidity, postnatal complications, and renal outcomes.
78 out of 104 children were born alive, yielding a survival rate of 75%
Overall survival postnatally was 69.2% with significant variation by group
61.2% of children from the early intervention group had normal renal function at discharge.
