Abstract:
The Lich-Gregoir antireflux surgical procedure was applicable in 166 children and adolescents with primary vesicoureteric reflux of all grades. In these patients we have done 275 antireflux plastics and reflux was cured in 97.8% operated ureters. This procedure is not applicable in patients with grossly dilated ureters on the excretory urogram, but gives highgrade success in all others cases. The operation is extravesical, with minimal risk of damaging urinary structures and adjacent tissue, and is simple to perform. The patients recover quickly and easily. This practical and safe antireflux operative method has been unduly neglected and it has its place in the future.
