Ureteral activity during the intravesical infusion was examined by urometry and electro-ureterograpby in 12 normal persons and a patient with vesico-ureteral reflux. The urometrograms and eloctro-uroterograms in normal persons indicated that when the bladder was distended with physiologic saline solution,the ureteral peristalsis responded so as to overcome the increased intravosical pressure. I...

INTRODUCTION Vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) is a common congenital anomaly of the urinary tract in the pediatric population, existing controversy regarding its management. Patients selected for treatment options are offered, from endoscopic injection of substances sub-ureteral to ureteral reimplantation surgery. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of the laparoscopic surgical technique for the treatm...

vesico-ureteral reflux (vur) is presented in approximately %1 of children and is associated with an increased risk of pyelonephritis and renal scarring. despite its prevalence and morbidity, many aspects of vur diagnosis and treatment are controversial. we objectively assessed the published data; the data base for many current diagnoses and treatment patterns of vur is limited. recent studies h...

Vesico ureteral reflux is the abnormal retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the ureter and possibly the kidney. There are 2 types of reflux: Primary reflux – which is caused by a congenital abnormality at the ureterovesical junction Secondary reflux – occurs when high pressure in the bladder causes a breakdown of the normal antireflux mechanism at the ureterovesical junction that occu...

radioisotope scanning is very important in evaluation, diagnosis and proper treatment of urinary tract infection (uti) and vesicoureteral reflux (vur) because of high sensitivity of this technique and less radiation dose delivered to the patients. this is a descriptive cross-sectional study to determine the frequency vur in a group of children aged 28 days to 14 years referred to our department...

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...
