34 patients treated by endoscopic injection of Teflon for vesico-ureteric reflux were reviewed with a follow-up of 2 to 5 years. 45 of the 48 treated ureters showed no signs of reflux, i.e. 93.7% medium-term success rate. 3 cases of reflux recurred after two years and 2 of them were successfully reinjected. There were no upper urinary tract complications. Endoscopic injection of Teflon appears to be a reliable alternative to open surgery.
