Efficiency of endoscopic treatment of primary vesicoureteral reflux depending on bulking agent

From June 1991 to December 2011, endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) was performed more than in 4,000 children aged 4 months to 17 years. As bulking agents, teflon paste, DAM +, urodex, and vantris were used. A comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of single endoplasty with var...

Summary:From June 1991 to December 2011, endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) was performed more than in 4,000 children aged 4 months to 17 years. As bulking agents, teflon paste, DAM +, urodex, and vantris were used. A comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of single endoplasty with various bulking agents in children with I-V degree primary VUR, who had no gross congenital abnormalities in ureterovesical anastomosis, such as paraureteral diverticula, complete duplicated ureter or extravesicalisation of ureter, and not suffered from chronic cystitis, was performed. It was found that the use of Teflon paste led to elimination of reflux in 102 (95.3%) of 107 patients, vantris--in 52 (92.9%) of 56 patients, DAM(+)--in 145 (77.8%) of 186, urodex--in 47 (68.1%) of 69 patients. Among modern bulking agents meet all safety requirements, vantris is recommended for the optimal treatment of vesicoureteral reflux in children.
