Purpose: Positioned instillation of contrast cystograms have been touted as possibly being more sensitive than standard cystograms for evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux. We performed positioned instillation of contrast cystograms intraoperatively, immediately after the injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid to treat vesicoureteral reflux, to determine whether they might be predictive of operative success and obviate the need for the standard postoperative voiding cystourethrogram, which is usually performed at 3 months.
Materials And Methods: Patients with vesicoureteral reflux and no confounding conditions were treated with dextranomer/hyaluronic acid and subsequent positioned instillation of contrast cystogram while under the same anesthesia between November 2003 and March 2005.
