Abstract:
All surgical techniques in antireflux surgery are characterised by a high success rate of over 90 %. The common goal of all procedures is the formation of a submucosal tunnel which is four times longer than the diameter of the ureter. Successful treatment has been achieved worldwide with the extravesical antireflux technique according to Lich-Gregoir in non-dilated ureters and psoas hitch ureterocystoneostomy in dilated ureters. Intravesical surgical procedures include the Politano-Leadbetter technique and Cohen's cross-trigonal reimplantation. These open or laparoscopic/robotic standard procedures have higher rates of success than endoscopic subureteric injection.
