Renal transplantation in primary reflux nephropathy without nephro-ureterectomy. A report of 4 cases.
If there is no evidence of infection in end-stage renal failure secondary to primary reflux nephropathy, renal transplantation can safely be performed without prior nephro-ureterectomy. Four cases are described in which reimplantation of the ureters was performed before or at transplantation. This procedure will cure reflux and maintain the integrity of the renal parenchyma and ureters.
