Fetal Intervention for LUTO
Fetal vesico-amniotic shunting placement consists in placing a shunt (stent) percutaneously from fetal bladder to the amniotic cavity under ultrasound guidance. Fetal cystoscopy will be performed using a thin scope that will be introduced to the fetal bladder for evaluation of the cause of the obstruction and ablation of the posterior urethral valves.
