Potter sequence
MONDO:0001558A rare, lethal congenital malformation characterized by bilateral renal agenesis and the absence or decreased volume of amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios). The presence of oligohydramnios gives rise to congenital anomalies that include hypoplastic lungs, lower extremities abnormalities, and characteristic facial features (low-set ears, widely separated eyes, nose flattening, and receding chin). Newborn infants usually die of respiratory failure.
Also known as: Potter syndrome, Potter's sequence, Potter's syndrome, oligohydramnios sequence

Experimental fetal fluid therapy aims to save babies born without kidneys
Disease control CompletedThis trial tests whether repeatedly adding sterile fluid into the womb can help fetuses with severe kidney failure grow enough lungs to survive after birth. Pregnant women with early pregnancy kidney failure can choose to receive the infusions or just be monitored. Babies who sur…

Surgeons test safer way to remove oversized uteri without large cuts
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a new surgical method to remove very large uteri (over 20 weeks size) during total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The technique uses a cold knife to cut the uterus into a long strip that can be pulled out through the vagina, avoiding large abdominal incisions. Twent…
