Abstract

Surgical indications for vesico-ureteral reflux have become more selective and endoscopic treatment has now become part of therapeutic arsenal. However, it is important to know when to operate with uretero-vesical replantation if the ureters are severely dilated, before the acute pyelonephritis becomes recurrent in the setting of persisting reflux in girls or higher grade reflux.
