Relation of length of submucous segment of the ureter to lesions of the renal parenchyma in children.
The possible relationship between the length of the submucous ureteral segment and frequency and degree of renal parenchymal injury was analysed in children with urinary tract infection and vesico-ureteral reflux. If the grade of reflux was disregarded, no relation was found to exist between these parameters.
