Abstract
Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) has been used for various purposes since 1963 and in urologic practice for the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) since the 1980s. In this study we report on our experience with Teflon injection for the treatment of 28 children with primary or secondary reflux. An overall success rate of 91.3% was achieved in the treatment of primary and 66.6% in secondary reflux. With these results we conclude that Teflon injection is a good alternative in the treatment of VUR.Entities:
