Abstract

Since its first clinical application in 1984, the endoscopic subureteral injection of bulking agents has become an alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and open surgical intervention in the treatment of VUR in children. The 15 min day care endoscopic procedure has gained worldwide popularity in the management of VUR in children. Over the years, multiple studies have demonstrated safety and long-term efficacy of this minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Nowadays almost 90% of the surgical treatment of VUR in Sweden is done by endoscopic procedure. In the current article, our aim was to review how the endoscopic treatment of VUR developed.
