Özet

Aim and Background: Posttransplant vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common urologic complication after renal transplantation, although its management is controversial. The treatment of choice is open surgical revision ureteral reimplantation with significant morbidity. Recently, endoscopic correction by using nonanimal dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (NA Dx/HA) injection has been reported to be effective in the treatment of VUR of transplanted kidneys. Herein, we present our 3-year endoscopic correction results in transplanted kidneys where we used two different injection techniques, subureteral and intraureteral.
