Can factors affecting complication rates for ureteric re‐implantation be predicted? Use of the modified <scp>C</scp> lavien classification system in a paediatric population

Abstract

Ureteric re-implantation remains a valid option for the treatment of certain patients with VUR. Refractory voiding dysfunction, a tailoring-tapering and folding procedure, obstructing megaureters (diameter of >9 mm) and associated duplex systems were the main predictive factors for postoperative complications. Use of a standardised complication grading system, such as the MCCS, should be encouraged to allow the valid comparison of complication rates between series.
