NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF RENAL SCARRING AFTER ANTIREFLUX SURGERY IN CHILDREN WITH PRIMARY VESICOURETERAL REFLUX: REVIEW OF THE RESULTS OF99m TECHNETIUM DIMERCAPTO-SUCCINIC ACID RENAL SCAN

摘要: AbstractPurpose: Reports of previous studies using excretory urography indicate that significant numbers new scars developed in 5 to 31% cases and scarring progressed 11 16% after antireflux surgery. We evaluated renal surgery a more accurate method, is dimercapto-succinic acid scintigraphy.Materials Methods: Between 1985 1997 was performed for primary vesicoureteral reflux 223 children at our hospital. Of these patients 45 boys 29 girls with median age 74 months whom preoperative postoperative scans were available form the basis retrospective study. Renal scan 0.3 58 (median 2) preoperatively 5.3 44 18.7) postoperatively. A total 24 (39 units) followed further by additional scanning as long 25 120 43.2) Each blindly reviewed size, number zone location cortical...
