Laparoscopic Extravesical Transperitoneal Approach for Vesicoureteral Reflux

Abstract

Laparoscopic extravesical transperitoneal reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux is a safe and effective approach even in bilateral simultaneous and duplex ureters, with success rates similar to the open technique, and a dramatic reduction in postoperative stay. Mucosal perforation was treated by maintaining a Foley catheter for 3-4 days postoperatively.
