Abstract

We have selected 38 patients (55 ureters) with primary vesicoureteric reflux successfully treated by endoscopic subureteric injection of Teflon. The success rate after 1 injection was 83.6%. Nine ureters required a 2nd or even a 3rd injection of Teflon to achieve success. The follow-up time for these successfully treated patients was 2-5 years, and results remained stable in 94.5% of cases. Endoscopic injection of Teflon seems to be a reliable alternative to open surgery in the treatment of primary vesicoureteric reflux.
