Abstract
The traditional surgical treatment of vesico-ureteric reflux has been by open operation, namely that of reimplanting the ureters into the bladder. Endoscopic correction of vesico-ureteric reflux is now possible using a sub-mucosal injection of Teflon paste. The results of injection of 36 ureters over a 12-month period is presented. The procedure is safe, simple and an effective way to correct vesico-ureteric reflux.Keywords
