Technique of Intravesical Laparoscopy for Ureteric Reimplantation to Treat VUR

الملخص EN

The prevalence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has been estimated as 0.4 to 1.8% among the pediatric population.

In children with urinary tract infection, the prevalence is typically from 30–50% with higher incidence occurring in infancy.

When correction of VUR is determined to be necessary, traditionally open ureteral reimplantation by a variety of techniques has been the mainstay of treatment.

This approach is justified because surgical correction affords a very high success rate of 99% in experienced hands and a low complication rate.

In that context the purpose of presenting our surgical technique: laparoscopic intravesical ureteric reimplantation is to highlight the use of laparoscopy to perform ureteric reimplantation for the management of pediatric VUR.
