Hello,
Mild fetal pelvi-calyceal dilatation with size of renal pelvis at 1 mm. is associated with excellent prognosis. There is no need of any intervention during pregnancy except regular monitoring. After delivery, prophylactic antibiotic is given to the baby and preliminary investigations like voiding urethrogram, ultrasonogram and clinical examination are done to note the extent of deformity and also to plan further management. Regular 6-monthly follow up is advised until healing is complete. Hope this helps.
