High grade vesicoureteral reflux is a well recognized risk factor for post-transplant infection that has been managed commonly with native nephrectomy. Recent reports have described the successful correction of vesicoureteral reflux by the subtrigonal injection of polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) paste. We treated 5 transplant candidates with vesicoureteral reflux with this technique. Ureteral reflux was corrected in 80 per cent of the treated ureters with 6 months of followup. Of the patients 3 have undergone successful renal transplantation without complication. This procedure is well suited to the end stage renal disease patient preparing for renal transplantation, since it avoids an open operation on the pre-transplant bladder and preserves the native kidney, thus, facilitating pretransplant dialysis.
