    Abstract:
    We have experienced 72 patients with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) during the past 16 years. Sixty-five of them (100 ureters) were treated surgically to prevent reflux. Among the surgical methods employed, the Politano-Leadbetter method was the most frequent, being used in 56 patients (87 ureters). Other methods were the combined method in 2 patients (three ureters), the Glenn-Anderson method in 1 (2 ureters), the Cohen method in 1 (1 ureter) and the Lich-Gregoir method in 5 patients (7 ureters). As postoperative complications in the early stage (within 1 month after surgery), remaining VUR in 1 ureter in 1 of the patients who underwent surgery by the Politano-Leadbetter method and occurrence of VUR on the contralateral side in 3 patients with unilateral VUR were encountered. These conditions disappeared during the follow-up period. On the other hand, in the late postoperative stage, ureteral stenosis requiring further surgery occurred in 1 ureter in the transitional region to the urinary bladder in 1 patient 2 months after surgery by the Lich-Gregoir method. The rate of success was all 87 ureters (100%) for the Politano-Leadbetter method and 6 out of 7 ureters (85.7%) for the Lich-Gregoir method. The success rates for the other procedures were also good, resulting in an overall rate of 99 out of 100 ureters (99.0%). Ninety-nine percent of the patients had been treated at least once preoperatively for pyelonephritis or fever of unknown etiology. Among these patients, those who had had 5 or more such episodes accounted for 39%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
