Journal Article
Subureteral collagen injection versus antireflux surgery in primary vesico-ureteral reflux grade III
1996
Overview
Endoscopic subureteral collagen injection (SCIN) was performed in 24 girls and 5 boys (mean/range: 3.2/0.7-12.2 years) with primary grade III vesicoureteral reflux. Clinical outcome was compared to 20 girls and 6 boys treated by antireflux surgery (mean/range: 3.0/0.2-9.4 years). forty-one ureters were treated by endoscopy, 37 by surgery. Patients were followed for 12 months. SCIN was not associated with severe persistent complications. No reflux was detected immediately after SCIN. After 6 months recurrent grade II reflux was present in 1 (4%) surgically treated patient and in 12/29 (41%) patients treated by collagen injection. This corresponded to a recurrence rate of 1/37 (3%) of ureters following surgery and 15/41 (37%) following SCIN. 8/15 refluxing ureters after collagen showed decreased reflux grade (two grade I, six grade II). After 12 months 24/26 (92%) patients with antireflux surgery remained free of urinary tract infections as compared to 25/29 (86%) children following endoscopy. Following SCIN, 4/29 (14%) patients required secondary antireflux surgery because of recurrent urinary tract infections.
On the basis of this study endoscopic SCIN appears to be safe in children. It is less effective than surgery with regard to elimination of primary grade II reflux. However, clinical success rate is comparable to surgery with regard to the frequency of recurrent urinary tract infections after the procedure. This may be due to the reduction of refluxing urine volume in those patients who showed recurrence of reflux after collagen injection.
