Abstract

Vesicouretral reflux (VUR) which is the backflow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys leading to renal dysfunction. It is a common problem that is being encountered. Most of children and infants with UTI turn to be having VUR and patients who left untreated turned to have renal scarring and in turn to have end stage renal disease. For preventing these consequences, an intervention is needed. Previously, surgical intervention was the mainstay treatment and the new practice have endoscopic injection of deflux that is a gel-like material that consist of Dextranomer/Hyaluronic acid copolymer, which had replaced other methods of invasive antireflux surgeries and becoming the preferred method used in practice for solving VUR by building an artificial valve system. In the following case, we will highlight the histologic manifestation of the deflux injection.
