Abstract
Between 1976 and 1987, a total of 25 ureteroneocystostomies were performed in 17 patients with neuropathic bladder associated with high-grade reflux III-V. An overall success rate of 82.4% is reported. Special complications included postoperative renal deterioration, especially after tapering of megaureters. During follow-up, contralateral reflux was noticed in 44% after unilateral treatment of reflux. Preoperative cystoscopy to define trigone abnormalities is mandatory.
