Obstructive uropathy was diagnosed in a fetus in the 31st week of gestation. Good renal functioning and a low L/S index (lecithin/sphingomyelin) in amniotic fluid having been found, a vesocoamniotic shunt was inserted percutaneously. Draining through the shunt lasted for three weeks; then the gravidity was terminated due to stent dislocation while the lung maturity was good. After delivery, right kidney afunction, 4th-5th degree reflux and left-sided hydroureter were diagnosed. At the age of one year, nephrectomy on the right, left-sided hydroureter resection and plastic correction of the megaloureter on the right were performed. The child's condition is satisfactory.
