Abstract

The vesicoureteral reflux (V-U reflux) is one of the serious complication after urinary diversion and enterocystoplasty when combined with ureteroenterostomy. A 33 year-old female patient was presented with moderate hydronephrosis and V-U reflux (Grade III/V) in a single kidney on urograms. She had undergone a nephrectomy and augmentation ileocystoplasty with ureteroileostomy because of urinary tuberculosis sixteen years ago. Antireflux surgery was performed using a segment of sigmoid colon to which the ureter was anastomosed through submucosal tunnel. Follow-up urograms showed disappearance of reflux and improvement of hydronephrosis at five months postoperatively.
