Abstract

Endoscopic treatment for VUR has been increasing in popularity, in parallel with the higher success rates associated with the recent technical modifications to the surgery. The current article aims to further support this method of treatment. However, bearing in mind that only 51% of the patients had radiologic follow-up, the article is not devoid of sampling bias. Furthermore, those who are interested in the technique should be cautioned about the possible downside of the double HIT method, since our own experience resulted in some findings contradictory to the article by Kalisvaart et al.

The purpose of our study was to test the hypothesis that patients undergoing the double hydrodistention‒implantation technique (Double HIT) have a higher clinical and radiographic success rate.
