Results of endoscopic treatment for vesico-ureteric reflux.
The 1.5- to 8-year results of endoscopic injection of polytetrafluoroethylene for reflux are described. We obtained a 70% complete and long-lasting success rate after a single injection. More than the degree of reflux, the configuration of the ostium determines the results. Implications of the product in the later life of the children are discussed.
