title: Is prenatal ultrasonography of any advantage?
abstract: With the percentage of prenatally diagnosed malformations rising, there is a growing need for the contribution of the pediatric surgeon regarding prognostic and therapeutic aspects for the unborn child. An important risk factor for the validity of any statement is the possible presence of undetected, associated malformations. In spite of all advantages prenatal diagnosis offers regarding carefully planned therapy, etc., doubt and uncertainty always remain.
