The present retrospective study was undertaken to determine the true incidence of vesicoureteric reflux after transurethral resection (TUR) of superficial bladder tumors. The possible role of tumor size, number, site, etc., relative to the appearance of reflux were analyzed, and the principal pathogenic factors involved in iatrogenic vesicoureteric reflux were determined. The incidence of reflux was studied using pre and postoperative ureterocystograms. The study revealed the presence of vesicoureteric reflux long after TUR in 20.6% of the patients.
