[Does correction of reflux delay the development of renal insufficiency?].
Eighty patients have consulted for vesico-ureteric reflux over the past ten years, and the majority of them underwent surgery. Of these surgical patients, six presented with mild or acute renal failure. After a temporary aggravation of the renal failure, the antireflux procedure led to a prolonged stabilization of the renal function by eliminating the occurrence of acute recurrent pyelonephritis. Antireflux surgery would therefore seem justified and beneficial even in cases of renal failure.
