[Localization of urinary infection after antireflux surgery (author's transl)]

Bladder wash-out tests were performed in a series of patients after successful antireflux surgery. The majority (65.5%) of infections were localized in the bladder, even if the IVP demonstrated signs of pyelonephritis (renal scarring and calcieal clubbing). 21.3% of the tests demonstrated a participation of the upper urinary tract. The bladder bacteriurias were interpreted as reinfections, and also some of the supravesical bacteriurias. In other cases, this differentiation could not be made.
