Summary
This study tests a new fetal surgery for lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO), a condition where a blockage prevents urine from leaving the bladder in unborn boys. The procedure uses a tiny camera and laser to open the blockage, aiming to protect the baby's kidneys and lungs. The trial enrolls 10 pregnant women carrying a male fetus with LUTO, and focuses on whether the surgery is safe and technically successful.
