Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS: Repeat injection was required in 24 ureters because of recurrent reflux. Average injected volume in the secondary and primary groups was 2.72 and 2.88 ml. per refluxing unit, respectively. The estimated reflux-free rate after the initial injection decreased gradually to about 35% in each group, while 12 and 24 months after the last injection it remained constant at 70% in the secondary group but decreased from 84.7% to 62.1% in the primary group. The percent of late recurrence was higher in the primary group. CONCLUSIONS:
