Transvesicoscopic Politano-Leadbetter ureteral reimplantation in children with vesicoureteral reflux: A novel surgical technique.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We introduce our novel procedure for transvesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation using the Politano-Leadbetter technique (TVUR-PL). We describe the detailed surgical procedure and report operative outcomes.

Materials and methods

We report a retrospective analysis of operative outcomes of TVUR-PL performed in children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) from January 2017 to July 2018. The analyzed operative outcomes included patient demographics, operative times, intra- and postoperative complications, indwelling duration of urethral Foley catheter, hospital length of stay, and treatment success.
