Advancement of 3D printing technology for the development of a training model in US‐guided vesicoamniotic shunting for early LUTO therapy [PDF]
Introduction Prenatal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is a rare and challenging condition with potential severe morbidity and mortality. Prenatal shunting methods, specifically vesicoamniotic shunting (VAS) and fetal cystoscopy, aim to manage this

Familial congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) suggested by screening for lower urinary tract dysfunction in parents of patients: A descriptive study [PDF]
Background Congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) describes a heterogeneous group of congenital malformations. Posterior urethral valves (PUV) represent the most common entity.

Comparison of Three Different Staging Systems Capable of Predicting the Severity of Congenital Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction (LUTO) and Its Prognosis. [PDF]
The Ruano's proposed prenatal staging system for LUTO seems to offer a more comprehensive stratification of different severities of fetal LUTO as well as a guidance for potential prenatal therapy based on four stages. ABSTRACT Lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is a rare but severe fetal condition associated with significant morbidity and long‐term

Indications and Outcomes of Fetal Cystoscopy for Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction: A Comprehensive Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) encompasses a spectrum of rare congenital anomalies affecting the fetal urinary system, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This condition, arising from various anatomical anomalies such as posterior urethral valves (PUV), urethral atresia, and cloacal malformations, disrupts normal ...

Use of prenatal ultrasound findings to predict postnatal outcome in fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is a chronic condition with a spectrum of outcomes. It is usually suspected prenatally based on ultrasound features (USFs). Given the unknown postnatal trajectory and the potential for significant morbidity and mortality, many families choose termination of pregnancy (TOP), often based on USFs ...

Fetal lower urinary tract obstruction: international Delphi consensus on management and core outcome set. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives To reach an international expert consensus on the diagnosis, prognosis and management of fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) by means of a Delphi procedure, and to use this to define a core outcome set (COS). Methods A three‐round Delphi procedure was conducted among an international panel of experts in fetal LUTO.

Fetal Urinoma Secondary to Posterior Urethral Valve and Its Association to Postnatal Renal Function: A Multicenter Retrospective Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aim The role of prenatal urinoma in lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) such as posterior urethral valves (PUV) is debated. We aimed to describe the risk factors associated with fetal urinoma and the association between fetal urinoma and postnatal renal function before 2 years of age.

Congenital lower urinary tract obstruction with spontaneous fetal bladder rupture due to posterior urethral valves: a case report [PDF]
Background Congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is a rare but significant condition affecting fetal urinary tract development. LUTO has a range of etiologies, with posterior urethral valves (PUV) being the most common cause.
