Abstract

Purpose of Review

Optimal management of primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) remains a source of debate, and options include observation with or without continuous antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical repair via endoscopic, open, or laparoscopic/robotic approaches. Surgical intervention may be necessary in children with persistent reflux, renal scarring, or recurrent febrile urinary tract infections when other options fail.

Recent Findings

Need for surgical correction is dictated predominantly by a given child’s clinical course including risk for recurrent infections and potential for renal scarring. While recent studies suggest that endoscopic injection is effective for the treatment of most VUR, the importance of material injected, technique utilized, reflux grade, and structural/functional bladder anomalies on ultimate success rates must be emphasized.

Summary

Long-term clinical success following endoscopic correction of primary VUR is high, and the majority of children avoid additional or more invasive surgical procedures. Efficacy rates are known to vary widely between surgeons, techniques, and implant materials.
