title: Reflux in opposite ureter after successful correction of unilateral vesicoureteral reflux.
abstract: Reflux developed in the contralateral ureter in 20 per cent of our patients undergoing unilateral ureteral reimplantation for reflux. This occurrence was not predictable from the preoperative evaluation. Bilateral reimplantation may be indicated in some patients requiring surgical correction for demonstrated reflux.
