About Vesicoureteric Reflux Surgery
Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) surgery corrects the faulty valve between ureter and bladder, so urine stops flowing back to the kidney and causing repeated infection and scarring.
Treatment is considered when reflux is high-grade or infections continue despite low-dose antibiotics. Options include injecting a bulking agent at the ureter opening through a cystoscope, or ureteric reimplantation, where the ureter is re-tunnelled into the bladder wall. Reimplantation can be open, laparoscopic or robotic. Both are performed under general anaesthesia.
Usually a good fit if
- Reflux that causes recurrent infections despite preventive antibiotics.
- Higher-grade reflux with kidney scarring or declining function.
- Reflux that persists in older children or adults.
- A person fit for general anaesthesia.
May need to wait if
- Active urinary infection must be treated first.
- Low-grade reflux with no infections may be safely monitored.
- Poor bladder emptying or constipation should be treated, as they undermine results.
- Uncontrolled medical conditions need optimisation.
How to prepare
- Bring your ultrasound, MCUG (cystogram), DMSA scan and urine culture reports showing reflux grade and any kidney scarring.
- Treat any urine infection first; your doctor may continue preventive antibiotics until surgery.
- Tell your doctor about all medicines; changes only on the doctor's instruction.
- Follow fasting instructions and arrange help for the first days after discharge.
- Plan follow-up scans before and after travel.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Do I need surgery, or can reflux be monitored with antibiotics?
- Do you recommend endoscopic injection or reimplantation, and what are the pros and cons?
- How many reflux operations do you perform each year, and what is your success rate?
- Will I need a catheter or stent, and for how long?
- How will you confirm the reflux is gone?
- Who can arrange follow-up tests at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Surgery proposed without a cystogram showing reflux or clear indication.
- No discussion of alternatives such as injection or antibiotics.
- Surgeon rarely performs reflux surgery or reimplantation.
- No follow-up scan or urine monitoring plan.
