To observe whether there is any difference in terms of postnatal complications and surgical requirements of fetuses with fetal pyelectasis in their antenatal follow-ups. A total of 199 patients were included in the study. Those with an anteroposterior renal pelvis diameter of 4 to 7 mm were included in the mild pyelectasis group (group1)(n=129), those with 7 to 10 mm in the moderate pyelectasis group (group2) (n=26) and those with 10 to 15 mm in the severe pyelectasis (group3) (n=44). Information such as delivery type, birth week, birth weight and gender of baby were recorded. The diagnoses and surgical requirement rates of babies followed up after birth were obtained from the case record files. Differences between both groups were evaluated. When the complications in the groups were examined, the differences between the groups with multicystic dysplastic kidney (p=0.011) and left ectopic kidney (p=0.028) were found to be significant. Left ectopic kidney was observed only in group3 at a rate of 4.5%. While ureteropelvic stenosis showed a significant difference in group2 and group3 (p
