- 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.

- 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.

My dad was admitted to MGM...
My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
