PURPOSE
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) index was introduced to predict the natural resolution of VUR. In this
study, we performed study to evaluate the association between preoperative VUR index and out-
come after endoscopic injection surgery in VUR patients.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Children with primary VUR who performed endoscopic injection surgery and followed more than
six months in our hospital from 2009 to 2016 were enrolled.Patientdemographics, voiding cys-
tourethrogram (VCUG) findings and clinical outcomes over time were assessed. The preoperative
VUR index of all children was confirmed by scoring, respectively. The success was determined the
disappearance of VUR on VCUG after injection therapy.
RESULTS
Seventy six children with VUR (111 ureters) were performed endoscopic injection surgery. The
mean age was 19.8 ± 17.8 months and male to female ratio was 53:23. The grade of VUR was
grade 2 in 9 ureters, grade 3 in 38 ureters, grade 4 in 46 ureters and grade 5 in 18 ureters. After
the endoscopic injection VUR was disappeared in 74 (66.7%). The success rates were all 9 ureters
of one point children (100%), 24 ureters in 28 ureters of two points children (85.7%), 24 ureters in
39 ureters of three points children (61.5%), 15 ureters in 30 ureters of four points children (50%),
and 3 ureters in 5 ureters of five points children (60%). Depending on VUR index score the success
of VUR was significantly reduced (P = 0.005). Postoperative hydronephrosis is occurred 1 ureter
in 9 ureter of one point children (11.1%), 4 ureters in 28 ureters of two points children (14.3%),
4 ureters in 39 ureters three point children (10.3%), 2 ureters in 30 ureters of four point children
(6.7%), and no one of five point children (P = 0.745).
CONCLUSIONS
Preoperative VUR index was significantly associated with success after endoscopic injection sur-
gery and may be useful in clinical trials.
