Trigonoplasty by Gil Vernet in the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux in adult patients.
There are several surgical procedures for the correction of primary vesicoureteral reflux. Among them, the one of increasing success for its safety and effectiveness is that introduced by Gil Vernet at the beginning of the 1980s, primarily in the pediatric field. By the time of this study, its use had been extended to adult patients as well. We report the results obtained with this method in 17 adult patients with primary vesicoureteral reflux.
