Teflon injection in the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux: a promising alternative for surgery
Abstract
Vesicoureteral reflux is a common disorder of the urinary tract in children. The incidence is especially high in patients suffering from urinary tract infection. There is controversy in the management of the disorder and a recently introduced method, Teflon injection, seems to offer a promising alternative as a non-invasive technique.
