Implication

Procedural report demonstrates successful correction of retrograde urinary flow in urologic patients, highlighting the utility of submucosal ureteral reimplantation.

Key Points

To describe an operative surgical technique designed to correct vesicoureteral reflux by re-establishing a competent ureterovesical valve mechanism.
Detailed an open transvesical ureteroneocystostomy technique involving intravesical dissection and mobilization of the distal ureter.
Constructed a submucosal bladder tunnel through which the mobilized ureter is advanced and reimplanted to create an antireflux flap-valve mechanism.
Demonstrated effective anatomical prevention of retrograde urine flow into the upper urinary tract without inducing distal ureteral obstruction.
Provided an operable technique that reduces recurrent ascending urinary tract infections and protects renal functional integrity.
