Abstract
The most common cause of renal deterioration in the spinal cord injured patient is irreversible vesicoureteral reflux. Of 39 unilateral vesicoureteroplasties done for this condition, 33 have been successful (85%). Of 51 bilateral vesicoureteroplasties the success rates remain at 55% of the patients and 72% of the ureters. Since these success rates are possibly acceptable and the complication rate minimal, indications and technique are stressed.
