Abstract
We determined the risk of contralateral reflux after unilateral ureteral reimplantation in patients with a history of resolved contralateral reflux. We reviewed our experience with 53 children who underwent unilateral ureteral reimplantation for primary vesicoureteral reflux. Postoperative contralateral reflux occurred in 5 of 11 children (45%) with a history of bilateral reflux that had resolved preoperatively on the contralateral side and 4 of 42 (10%) with no history of contralateral reflux. Strong consideration should be given to performing bilateral ureteral reimplantation in children with unilateral reflux and a history of resolved contralateral reflux.
