Renal Scarring and Urinary Tract Infection After Successful Endoscopic Correction of Vesicoureteral Reflux

Abstract

Our data show that successful endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux is accompanied by a low incidence of new renal scarring and febrile urinary tract infection. Patients who initially have corrected reflux but who have a febrile urinary tract infection at long-term followup require prompt revaluation to rule out recurrent reflux.
