Sažetak
Surgery (ureteral reimplantation) is the definitive method of correcting primary reflux. The common goal of these operations is to prevent VUR by creating an effective flap-valve mechanism at the ureterovesical junction. Overall surgical success was reported approaching 95-98%, but as with any surgery it is not risk free. Potential complications due to ureteral reimplantation of the ureters include bleeding in the retroperitoneal space, infections, ureteral obstruction, injury to adjacent organs, and persistent reflux. Understanding the possible complications can help paediatrician, surgeons and parents to make a better therapeutic decision.
