[Vesico-ureteral-renal reflux in the adult. Preliminary results of endoscopic treatment].
Vesico-ureteric reflux in adult patient may now be treated endoscopically by injecting teflon under the ureteral orifices. Twenty-six ureteral units were treated by this technique in 18 patients. Correction of the reflux was obtained in 22 units (85 p. 100); the technique was ineffective in 4 units (15 p. 100). No complication was observed in this series; in particular, there was no stenosis of the intramural ureter. These encouraging preliminary results have to be confirmed on a long-term basis in large series of patients.
