Postnatal surgical complications in lower urinary tract obstruction following fetal vesico- amniotic shunting
Intrauterine VAS with a Somatex<sup>®</sup> shunt is feasible, and in the majority of cases, shunt explantation can be easily performed after birth. However, the umbrellas may cause intraabdominal tissue damage, peritoneal adhesions or skin defects, and early surgical management of VAS associated complications might be necessary.
