How Endoscopic Injection Therapy for VUR is performed
This treatment is performed under cystoscopy. The ureteral orifice is observed transurethrally, and biocompatible adhesive is injected below or around it to elevate and fit the opening, thereby reducing reflux. Usually short-acting anesthesia is used, and a urinary catheter may be left in place for short-term observation. Postoperative attention is paid to urination, hematuria, and signs of infection, and reflux improvement is assessed in combination with imaging. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
