In utero diagnosis of severe oligohydramnios and fetal ureteral pelvic outlet obstruction resulted in the placement of nephrostomy catheters in two fetuses. The amniotic fluid index improved, mid-chest thoracic circumference increased and renal calyceal dilation decreased in both patients. Both neonates had evidence of pulmonary hypoplasia but survived. This new technique offers an alternative for antenatal management of obstructive uropathy when the bladder is not accessible or is distal to the site of the obstruction.

The most widely used bowel segment is a detubularised patch of ileum. When ileum is not suitable for augmentation, sigmoid colon is the alternative.

Background: Kidney failure due to uterine prolapse is rare, nonetheless, early recognition and treatment of this form of postrenal kidney failure are essential in order to prevent serious complications.
Case Description: In this article we describe a 73-year-old woman and a 63-year-old-woman with severe kidney failure due to a uterine prolapse. Both patients were initially treated with a nephrostomy catheter to ensure the passage of urine from the kidneys, after which the uterus was repositioned using a vaginal ring.
