Posterior Urethral Valve: (PUV): Is an obstructive developmental anomaly in the urethra of male new born [1] is the commonest and is the commonest cause of lower urinary tract obstruction in male infants. In the present era the most common mode of presentation is antenatal diagnosis. Postnatally, PUV can have a broad spectrum of presentations ranging from a life threatening pulmonary hypoplasia due to oligohydramnios, to mild obstruction or symptoms that may escape early detection and manifest only in later childhood, adolescence or even adulthood. Universally accepted treatment protocol for managing PUV includes cystoscopic valve ablation using cold knife or electrocautery or LASER. The disorder varies in degree and the very mild as the severe cases can have renal and respiratory failure from lung under development as a result of low amniotic fluid volumes etc. [2] Posterior Urethral Valve presents the most common aetiology of congenital urethral obstruction in young boys and the most common urologic causes for and stage renal disease in children the incidence of (PUV) is one in 8000 babies [3] It comprises 10% of all parentally diagnosed uropathies and occurs approximately 1:4000 live male births.
