Abstract : Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the commonest cause of lower urinary tract obstruction detected during the antenatal and immediate postnatal period in male fetuses. Treatment options for PUV during the antenatal period include percutaneous vesico-amniotic shunt, fetoscopic fulguration of the valve and open fetal cystostomy. We report two cases of fetal cystoscopic laser valvotomy with fairly similar pre-operative profiles but contrasting postnatal outcomes, which re-iterates the fact that case selection in such cases continues to be a challenge. These are the first case reports on fetoscopic laser valvotomy in India to the best of our knowledge.
