title: Vesicoureteral reflux following transurethral resection of bladder tumors.
abstract: Vesicoureteral reflux after transurethral resection of bladder tumors is a significant complication (19 per cent incidence in the present series). Although most patients with such reflux suffer no apparent ill effects renal destruction occurs in some. Other implications are discussed and the obligation for recognition of the reflux when it exists is emphasized. A simple technique for routine diagnosis is suggested.
