The effect of acute chemical sympathectomy on the competence of the canine ureterovesical junction.
Selective chemical destruction of the adrenergic nerve terminals in the dog bladder with 6-hydroxydopamine does not result in vesicoureteral reflux. The sympathetic nerve supply of the bladder does not appear to play a role in maintaining the normal competence of the ureterovesical junction.
