Abstract
Thirty-four children with 35 refluxing duplex ureters were treated by the endoscopic injection of polytetrafluoroethylene paste. Of the 32 patients followed, 21 ceased refluxing, 3 were unchanged and 7 had a significant reduction in the grade of reflux. One patient developed a ureteric obstruction. Concurrently, contralateral single system reflux was resolved in the 8 patients in whom it was present.
