- Breakthrough febrile urinary tract infections despite continuous antibiotic prophylaxis.
- Progressive kidney scarring (reflux nephropathy) or impaired kidney growth.
- Congenital abnormalities of the ureterovesical junction, like ectopic ureter or ureterocele.
- Persistent reflux in older children or adults.
- Secondary VUR due to neurogenic bladder or prior surgery.
- Obstruction at the point where the ureter enters the bladder.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive pre-operative evaluation including urine tests, kidney ultrasound, and a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG).
- Discussion of medical history, allergies, and current medications with the urologist and anesthesiologist.
- Possible need to stop certain medications like blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin) days before surgery.
- Fasting (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours prior to the scheduled surgery time.
- Pre-operative counseling to understand the procedure, risks, and recovery expectations.
- Arranging for help at home and time off work/school for the recovery period.
Risks & possible complications
- Standard surgical risks: Reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, or blood clots.
- Persistent or recurrent vesicoureteral reflux after surgery.
- Urinary obstruction at the new implantation site, potentially requiring a stent.
- Injury to surrounding organs (intestines, blood vessels).
- Urinary leakage or fistula formation.
- Bladder spasms or temporary difficulty with urination.
- Scar tissue formation (stricture) in the ureter over the long term.

- Patients should avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and contact sports for several weeks.
- Increased fluid intake is encouraged to flush the urinary system.

Saanvi Johnson, a 42-year-old elementary school...
Saanvi Johnson, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two, experienced a traumatic complication during a routine hysterectomy for fibroids. The surgery accidentally injured her right ureter, leading to a persistent urinary leak. For weeks, she dealt with constant dampness, skin irritation, and the emotional distress of the accident. A nephrostomy tube was placed to drain her kidney directly, which was a daily reminder of the problem. Her urologist, Dr. Chen, recommended a Boari Flap procedure to bridge the gap created by the damaged section of ureter, using a flap of her own bladder. Saanvi was terrified of another surgery but desperate to be free of tubes and leaks. The procedure was successful. The post-operative pain was managed well, and the nephrostomy tube was removed. After a few months of careful recovery, her system was functioning normally again. Emotionally, the journey was from betrayal and frustration to immense gratitude and closure. She felt whole again, able to fully engage with her family without the physical and emotional burden of the injury.
