Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) Surgery
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a urinary tract condition where urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters/kidneys, increasing the risk of kidney infections and scarring. It affects 1-3% of children and often requires surgical correction if severe.
When is Surgery Needed?
Grade IV-V reflux (severe cases)
Recurrent UTIs despite antibiotics
Kidney damage (scarring on ultrasound/DMSA scan)
Failed conservative management

| Open Ureteral Reimplantation | Surgical repositioning of ureters | 95-98% | 3-5 days |
| Laparoscopic/Robotic Reimplantation | Minimally invasive approach | 90-95% | 2-3 days |
