Title: Current options in the management of primary vesicoureteral reflux in children. Author: Fonseca FF, Tanno FY, Nguyen HT. Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 2012 Aug; 59(4):819-34. PubMed ID: 22857830. Abstract: The management of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is varied and remains controversial, which is likely because children with VUR have different risks for urinary tract infection or renal injury.

In this article, the authors review the medical and surgical management options for VUR in the pediatric population. The authors hope to provide a systematic approach to determine which treatment is optimal for a specific patient.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
