This article discusses the results of endoscopic treatment of reflux nephropathy using various tissue-augmenting substances presently available
Abstract:
Endoscopic subureteral injection of tissue-augmenting substances--a 15-minute outpatient procedure--has become an established alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical intervention in the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux in children. This report reviews the results of endoscopic treatment of reflux using various tissue-augmenting substances presently available. In more...

This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer for high grade vesicoureteral reflux in infants
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Renal parenchymal injury in vesicoureteral reflux occurs early, in most patients before age 3 years. It is generally believed that early prevention of urinary tract infections may decrease the amount of renal parenchymal damage. Endoscopic treatment for vesicoureteral reflux has become an established alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and ureteral reimplantation. more...

This study evaluated our experience with endoscopic STING (subureteral polytetrafluoroethylene injection) for grades IV and V vesicoureteral reflux
Abstract:
PURPOSE: We evaluated our experience with endoscopic STING (subureteral polytetrafluoroethylene injection) for grades IV and V vesicoureteral reflux. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the records of 221 boys and 305 girls who underwent STING for primary grades IV (430) and V (96) vesicoureteral reflux between 1984 and 2000. Median patient age at STING was 3 years (range 3 months to 14 more...

This study examined the incidence of newly diagnosed contralateral reflux after endoscopic correction of unilateral reflux and identified possible risk factors for its development
Abstract:
PURPOSE: As more and more pediatric urologists use endoscopic therapy as a primary treatment option for vesicoureteral reflux, newer indications for this procedure are being considered. Recently it was suggested that contralateral nonrefluxing ureters should be treated prophylactically in patients undergoing unilateral endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux. We analyzed the more...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Deflux) as first line treatment for high grade vesicoureteral reflux
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux has become an established alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and ureteral reimplantation. A number of tissue augmenting substances have been used for the endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux. We prospectively evaluated the effectiveness of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Deflux) as first line treatment more...
