[Glenn-Cohen-Anderson operation in the treatment of vesico-renal reflux]

A total of 38 cases are presented (47 ureters) that were operated according to the anti-reflux procedure of Glenn-Cohen-Anderson. The immediate and the late results (up to 4 years) are excellent. The authors suggest that cases with reflux of the I-st or the II-nd degree should not be operated, and that surgery should be considered only when the urine is infected, and when there is a serious risk of scleroatrophic pyelonephritis. As a general rule a more conservative attitude should be adopted when faced with vesico-renal reflux, and the surgery should be well justified.
