Improvement in Renal Function Following Ureteric Reimplantation for Vesicoureteric Reflux

Abstract

Summary— Ten children with vesicoureteric reflux who had moderate impairment of renal function before corrective surgery have been analysed retrospectively. A significant improvement in renal function occurred after successful anti‐reflux surgery. The possible reasons for this improvement are discussed with emphasis on the functional rather than the morphological effects of reflux.
