ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To report the long-term outcomes of endoscopic surgery (ES) in pediatric patients with vesicoureteral reflux in terms of success rate, urinary tract infection, and renal function.METHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed the records of 73 pediatric patients (110 ureters) who underwent ES for vesicoureteral reflux. Ultrasonography was performed 1, 3, and 12 months postoperatively. Voiding cystourethrography was performed 3 months postoperatively and repeated after 1 year if vesicoureteral reflux persisted. Success was defined as the absence of reflux at the first voiding cystourethrography. Renal scans were performed at least 12 months postoperatively. Renal function deterioration was defined as a new scar or a greater than 5% decrease in function.RESULTS:
The median follow-up duration was 24 (12–118) months. The overall success was 65.6%, while it was 78.9%, 87.0%, 62.5%, 37.5%, 66.7% for grades I, II, III, IV, and V, respectively. In multivariate analyses, significant predictive factors for success were vesicoureteral reflux grade (odds ratio [OR], 0.28; P < 0.001) and mound detection at the first postoperative ultrasonography (OR, 13.53; P < 0.001). Renal function deterioration was found in 8 (15.3%) ureters and was less common in those with successful surgeries than in those with failures (9.5% vs. 40.0%; P = 0.035). No significant predictive factor for renal function deterioration or urinary tract infection was found.CONCLUSION:
Successful short-term outcomes of ES are expected in low-grade vesicoureteral reflux, especially when a mound is detected by postoperative ultrasonography. However, unpredictable long-term renal deterioration warrants continued follow-up.Palavras-chave
