    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common condition in children.
    • Existing surgical treatments for VUR have varying success rates and complication profiles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a novel surgical approach for VUR.
    • To assess the efficacy of a combined Politano-Leadbetter procedure with orifice advancement.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified surgical technique combining the Politano-Leadbetter procedure with orifice advancement was employed.
    • The procedure was performed on 26 pediatric patients, involving 37 renal units.
    • Outcomes were compared to other established VUR surgical methods.

    Main Results:

    • The combined surgical approach demonstrated successful outcomes in all treated renal units.
    • The technique was safely and effectively performed in a cohort of 26 children.
    • No significant complications were reported during the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined Politano-Leadbetter procedure with orifice advancement is a safe and effective surgical option for pediatric VUR.
    • This modified technique offers a promising alternative for managing complex VUR cases.
    • Further comparative studies are warranted to solidify its position among VUR treatments.
