The results of a prospective bacteriologic follow-up of 21 consecutive female patients, who had an antireflux operation are given. Only those patients with a proven active susceptibility to urinary tract infection at the time of operation were included in this study. Of these patients, 89% had persistent recurrent urinary tract infection, though the reflux was corrected. Bacteriologic controls and long-term chemotherapy seem warranted in those patients after operation.
