Vesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation (VUR) is a relatively common clinical problem in children that is characterized by the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder to the upper urinary tracts. The true prevalence of reflux is difficult to accurately assess because it can be completely asymptomatic. In children with prenatal hydronephrosis, the presence of VUR ranges from 15% in children with little or no residual postnatal hydronephrosis to 38% in children who are found to have significant hydronephrosis or other upper tract anomalies.
