[Is the Gil-Vernet advancement procedure for reflux legitimate? Considerations apropos of 22 cases in adults and children].
We discuss 22 patients who have undergone surgical antireflux plasty with Gil-Vernet's technique. In 19 patients, success was obtained with an average follow-ip of 12 months. In 3 cases, a persistent reflux remains and the children have not been reoperated. This technique is very simple and has a number of advantages, such as bilateral simultaneous correction of reflux, without any lower ureteral dissection. Subsequent ureteral catheterisation is easy which is important for any further ureteroscopy. Nevertheless, a longer follow-up has to be studied to be sure of the reliability, of the technique in comparison with older but safe techniques such as Cohen's advancement.
