A new technique for surgical correction of vesicoureteral reflux

For more than 2 decades a major problem in pediatric urology has been the medical and surgical management of vesicoureteral reflux. Many effective surgical procedures have been advocated and used. A new surgical technique, particularly effective in patients with megatrigone, has been used in 38 children and adults with excellent results. The technique involves a single stitch that imbricates the trigone, effectively lengthening the intramural segment of terminal ureter.
