Treatment of Vesicoureteral Reflux after Puberty

A Novel Method for Measuring, Regardless of Image Distortion and Lens Varying Specifications in Endoscopic Treatment of Vesicoureteral Reflux

Treatment of pediatric vesicoureteral reflux using endoscopic injection of hyaluronic acid/dextranomer gel: intermediate-term experience by a single surgeon.
