Abstract
The urogenital system is frequently the site of congenital anomalies, which occur in 0.2–2% of all live births (Table 7.1). The timely and accurate diagnosis both pre- and postnatally is vital, especially in major malformations, and is aimed at safeguarding renal function, urinary continence and normal sexual function.
