Endoscopic treatment of vesico-ureteral reflux: Experience of 99 ureteric moieties

[Endoscopic treatment of vesico-ureteral reflux].

Submucosal injection of Teflon for treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (the sting of O'Donnell) was used in 43 patients (66 ureters-21 bilateral cases). 14 patients were on dialysis and reflux was diagnosed at medical evaluation during pretransplantation work-up; correction of reflux was indicated as a preparation for renal transplantation. In another group of 24 patients with normal renal funct...

Treatment of vesico-ureteric reflux in children.

Approximately 35% of children with urinary infection have vesico-ureteric reflux (McGovern, Marshall, and Paquin, 1960; Ericsson, 1960). It is not known whether infection causes the reflux by damaging the uretero-vesical valvular mechanism, or whether a congenital abnormality permits reflux which predisposes to infection. Yet whatever the aetiology, it seems logical to assume that when infectio...

Vesico - ureteric reflux

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the ureter. A normally functioning ureteral vesical junction (UVJ) allows for the smooth expulsion of urine from the ureter into the bladder without regurgitation of urine back up the ureter, either during bladder filling or upon voiding, If this valvular mechanism fails, from whatever etiology, urine flowing back...

Physiopathology of vesico-ureteral reflux

Vescico-Ureteral Reflux (VUR) is a common condition in childhood, caused by a congenital anomaly at the Vescico-Ureteral Junction (VUJ) level. It seems that the main cause could be an abnormal embryological development occurred during the early stage of fetal life.Refluxing ureteral endings show structural and functional anomalies: previous studies have shown a significant decrease in alfa acti...
