A retrospective study of 32 adult patients undergoing ureteric reimplantation for reflux has been carried out. Reflux and reimplantation in relation to urolithiasis, pregnancy, renal failure, hypertension and bladder neck obstruction have been discussed. Eighty-four per cent of patients with primary reflux had pyelonephritic scarring compared with only 34% of patients where reflux was secondary. Reimplantation has been technically successful in preventing reflux in every patient in this series, with 18 patients (65%) becoming symptom free. Pyelonephritis, hypertension and renal failure were not significantly improved but no progressive changes were observed in the follow-up period after reimplantation.
