Abstract
An integrated method of management was used in 29 children with neurogenic bladders and vesicoureteral reflux. Radiological follow-up revealed that resolution or improvement of reflux occurred in 48% of the renal units managed by close observation only, 48% managed by intermittent catheterization, 75% managed by vesicostomies and 100% in which the ureters were reimplanted. As in the non-neurogenic bladder, successful management of reflux and prevention of upper tract deterioration can be achieved by conservative management as well as by ureteroneocystostomy. A protocol of management is outlined.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
