title: Submeatal injection of polytetrafluoroethylene paste for the endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteric reflux in adults.
abstract: The injection of submeatal Teflon paste is often used for the treatment of paediatric vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). We present our results using this treatment in 7 adults and 1 female child; 11 ureters were injected with a 73% success rate. The simplicity of the procedure and the encouraging results make this a desirable treatment for adult VUR.
