- Abstract
This article discusses a study conducted between 2013 and 2023 that aimed to understand the postnatal diagnosis and outcomes of fetuses with suspected obstructive uropathies and/or hydronephrosis in the third trimester of pregnancy. The study included 213 fetuses with ultrasound suspicion of hydronephrosis and/or obstructive uropathies. The results showed that 65% of the fetuses were diagnosed with upper urinary tract obstruction, 12% with lower urinary tract obstruction, and 11% with a pathologic duplex system. The overall survival rate was 98%, but there were significant morbidity and the need for surgical intervention in cases of lower urinary tract obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux, and a pathologic duplex system.
