title: Surgical correction of vesicoureteral reflux in children with neurogenic bladder.
abstract: The reported success rate for correction of vesicoureteral reflux in the neurogenic bladder has been low. Reflux was corrected in 33 of 37 ureters in 23 selected children with neurogenic bladder-treated by reimplantation. Selection was based on good bladder capacity, little or no trabeculation and the expectation that the bladder would be useful in future management of the patient. Preoperative preparation and surgical technique are emphasized.
