URETERAL REIMPLANTATION IN INFANTS AND CHILDREN: EFFECT ON BLADDER FUNCTION

Abstract

No difference in urodynamic parameters could be found between children younger than 12 months compared to those older who underwent ureteral reimplantation. The urodynamic data do not provide any contraindication to ureteral reimplantation performed in early infancy. Moreover, except for a minor reduction in bladder instability, ureteral reimplantation does not alter the urodynamic behavior of the bladder.
