    Journal: Scand J Urol Nephrol; 2007; 41(1):72-4. PubMed ID: 17366106.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To review the results of Gil-vernet anti-reflux surgery in adult female patients suffering from primary vesicoureteral reflux. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 39 women with a diagnosis of primary vesicoureteral reflux who were surgically treated at our medical center using the Gil-vernet anti-reflux method between 1995 and 2004 were included in the study. Data concerning gender, age, pre- and postoperative symptoms, reflux grading and the outcome of surgery were reviewed. RESULTS: Thirty-nine females (mean+/-SD age 29.19+/-10 years; range 18-65 years) with a total of 49 refluxing renal units were studied. The Gil-vernet technique was effective in eliminating reflux in 48/49 renal units (97.95% success rate) and 38/39 patients (97.43% success rate). The chief complaints of the patients were resolved after surgery in 87.17% of cases. CONCLUSION: Gil-vernet anti-reflux surgery had a high success rate in adult female patients.
