    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound now provides detailed functional assessment alongside structural evaluation of fetal anomalies.
    • Ultrasonography is crucial for guiding invasive procedures like fetal blood sampling and urine aspiration.
    • Ultrasound aids in therapeutic interventions such as in utero shunt placement.
    • Advanced ultrasound applications improve the assessment of anomaly pathophysiology and prognosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound is pivotal in modern perinatal care for fetal genitourinary anomalies.
    • Improved ultrasound technology and application are key to reducing the clinical impact of these conditions.
    • Accurate ultrasound diagnosis and management planning are essential for optimal pregnancy outcomes.
