Submeatal injection of polytetrafluoroethylene paste for the endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteric reflux in adults.
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.
