ABSTRACT
Purpose : The aim of this study was evaluating the efficacy of endoscopic $Deflux^{(R)}$ submucosal injection in children with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
Methods : Retrospective analysis of medical record was conducted on 38 children (59 ureters) who underwent endoscopic $Deflux^{(R)}$ injection due to primary VUR. Data were collected from March 2000 to February 2006. Mean infused amount of $Deflux^{(R)}$ was 0.77 cc. After $Deflux^{(R)}$ injection, patients were reassessed by voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) 6 months later.
Results : The success rate of endoscopic $Deflux^{(R)}$ submucosal injection 6 months later by VCUG was 100% for grade 1 VUR, 87.5% for grade 2, 60% for grade 3, 26.6% for grade 4, 16.6% for grade 5, respectively and there was negatively significant correlation between success rate and grade of VUR (P<.01). Degree of improvement of VUR by endoscopic $Deflux^{(R)}$ submucosal injection was not related to age at diagnosis, time to operation, existence of voiding dysfunction or constipation and infused amount of $Deflux^{(R)}$. However, group with anticholinergics medication had significantly lower success rate than non-medication group (P<0.047).
Conclusion : Endoscopic $Deflux^{(R)}$ submucosal injection is effective therapy in patient with primary VUR, especially low grade VUR. It can be not only a useful substitute for prophylaxis with antibiotics, but also an effective management prior to ureteroneocystostomy in children with primary VUR.
