After studying the case by Dr. Rabei Al-Atat, a consultant urologist, he decided to perform a laparoscopic operation to prevent kidney scarring with its severe consequences in the future, resulting from urinary infections. With the development of endoscopic surgeries and the materials used in the treatment of urinary reflux, the process of injecting the ureters with special materials through the endoscope has become the most widely used surgical treatment for urinary reflux, and it is one of the recent and important developments in the treatment of urinary reflux, the duration of injection does not exceed one minute.
After the success of the one-day procedure, the patient was discharged from the hospital with follow-up in the outpatient clinics. The follow-up was characterized by the disappearance of pain and inflammation while maintaining the kidney function.
