Abstract

A review of 120 children who underwent ureteral reimplantation by the cross-trigonal or Politano-Leadbetter technique is presented. Over-all success rates (no postoperative reflux or ureteral obstruction) were 96.7% for the Politano-Leadbetter method and 97.8% for the cross-trigonal technique. There were no failures using either method in patients operated upon for primary vesicoureteral reflux.
