Resolved high grade vesical ureteric reflux following open Surgical ureteric reimplantation in an 18 months infant with solitary kidney. Case report and literature review.

Patients with vesical ureteral reflux (VUR) present with a wide range of severity.With an incidence of approximately 1%, Vesicoureteric reflux is a relatively common urological abnormality in children.Postnatal diagnosis of VUR is typically made following a diagnosis of a urinary tract infection (UTI) and less frequently following family screening.Voiding cystourethrograms remain the gold standard for diagnosing VUR.To preserve the kidney and prevent the need for potential renal replacement therapy, infants with a single kidney require significantly more assessment and prompt urine diversion decisions.Surgical correction is advised for patients with VUR grades IV and V, while VUR grades I, II, and III are managed conservatively. CLINICAL KEY MESSAGE.Conservative nonsurgical therapy ensures that the resolution is nearly 80% for VUR grades I and II and 30-50% for VUR grades III-V within four to five years of follow-up.Open surgical reimplantation of ureters of grades IV and V is a highly successful procedure, with reported correction rates ranging from 95 to 99% regardless of the severity of VUR.
