The postnatal outcome of nine patients with the prenatal diagnosis of fetal hydronephrosis is reported. In only three of the nine cases was true obstructive hydronephrosis demonstrated, and in only one of these cases (11%) the patient might have benefited from decompressive surgery at the time of diagnosis of the abnormality. Twenty-nine additional cases from the literature are reviewed. It is concluded that a major deterrent to early fetal surgery is that most of the cases of obstructive hydronephrosis are identified too late in gestation.
报告了9例产前诊断为胎儿肾积水患者的产后结果。9例中仅3例显示为真正的梗阻性肾积水，其中仅1例（11%）患者在诊断出异常时可能从减压手术中获益。还回顾了文献中的另外29例病例。得出的结论是，早期胎儿手术的一个主要障碍是大多数梗阻性肾积水病例在妊娠期被发现得太晚。
