Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- Ureteral anatomy and the function of the ureterovesical junction was first discovered by Galen, Leonardo da Vinci drawings and John Sampson dissections.
- To prevent urine from going into the upper urinary tracts an anti-reflux mechanism was postulated by Da Vinci.
- In 1950s, Hodson and Edwards was the first to discover the association between association of VUR with renal scarring from bacterial infection and the development of hydronephrosis.
- In 1952, Hutch performed the first antireflux surgery in paraplegic patients.
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1952, the first antireflux surgery was developed by Hutch to treat VUR.
- In 1958, a new surgical procedure to treat VUR was developed by Politano and Leadbetter.
