Assessments include medical history, renal and bladder ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram and urodynamic study, need for clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) and anticholinergics, and the occurrence of urinary tract infections (UTI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 30 patients who underwent prenatal MMC closure from December 2010 to December 2015, eight patients with a postnatal follow\u2010up of at least 2 years were included in this study and compared with eight patients after postnatal MMC repair. The level of the bony spinal defect was similar in both groups. Urological evaluation at 2 years revealed normal bladder function in 50% after prenatal repair. Neurogenic bladder dysfunction requiring CIC and anticholinergic therapy was seen in 50% in the prenatal and in 100% in the postnatal group. Significant bladder wall thickening was found in 37.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Febrile UTIs occurred in 37.5% in the prenatal and 62.5% in the postnatal group during the observation period.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our data suggest a positive effect of prenatal MMC closure on lower urinary tract function. The long\u2010term significance of these results remains unclear. Therefore, continued close monitoring of renal and bladder function are mandatory.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.23174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,16]],"date-time":"2016-11-16T17:45:27Z","timestamp":1479318327000},"page":"1651-1658","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Prenatal
