[The postoperative course following antireflux operations for vesico ureteral reflux (author's transl)]

The authors report 779 ureters related to vesico-ureteric reflux. 602 were treated by the method of Politano-Leadbetter and 177 by the method of Grégoir. Follow-up observations in these patients showed lesions requiring further surgery in relation to bleeding, stone-formation in the urinary tract and lesions of the bladder wall. The question of postoperative urinary obstruction and recurrent reflux was stressed and the problems related to the indication for surgery for vesico-ureteric reflux in infancy are discussed.
