[Treatment of vesicoureteral reflux in childhood].

The pathophysiology, evaluation and therapy of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) were newly illuminated over the past years through different clinical studies and basic research. Our understanding of vesicoureteral reflux and the therapeutic spectrum of its treatment should therefore consistently undergo critical revision. The Swedish Reflux Study set up three different therapy options for small children with dilated VUR: antibiotic prophylaxis, endoscopic reflux correction and surveillance were prospectively analysed in a randomized fashion. The results are discussed in this work and completed with a statement about open operative reflux therapy.
