Abstract

Modified antireflux Gil-Vernet technique was used in the surgical management of primary vesicoureteral reflux grades II and III in 62 patients (60 children, 2 adults). Reflux has been eliminated in 90.3% of the patients. In patients with persisting reflux it was of lower grade than before surgery and showed a tendency to spontaneous disappearance when treated conservatively. Taking into consideration also the late results of elimination of the reflux, the success rate is comparable to that in other antireflux methods. In none of our patients has obstruction or other more serious complication occurred.

Advantages of this technique are stressed, first of all its simplicity, preservation of musculature of terminal ureters, possibility of management of both ureters and absence of complications, mostly of obstructive character.
