title: [Obstructive urinary tract diseases and prenatal diagnosis. Timing of surgical correction].
abstract: The Authors are reviewing their experience of Obstructive Uropathies diagnosed and treated surgically in neonates, the last 8 years in their Institution. 67 cases were reviewed, in which 37 presented with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ). 13 with posterior urethral valves, 11 with primary megaureter and 6 with ureterocele. Prenatal ultrasonography allowed the diagnosis to be made in two third of the patients. UPJ is the most common obstructive uropathy observed. Posterior urethral valves the most severe because of high pulmonary and renal (dysplasia) complication rate. Surgery, when indicated, has no more complications to be expected than in general population, if oriented prophylactic measures are taken in the early peri- and postoperative period.
