Postoperative cystography and endoscopic treatment of low-grade vesicoureteral reflux.

Introduction: The endoscopic subureteral injection of tissue-bulking agents has become an established alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and open surgery with a high success rate, especially for low-grade reflux (>90%). Though it is recognized that a routine postoperative voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is unnecessary following a ureteroneocystostomy, most teams perform one after an endoscopic treatment.

Materials And Methods: In this paper, we report on our experience with the endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux in 72 ureteral units, for whom no routine postoperative cystography was performed.
