Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery

- To prevent urine from going into the upper urinary tracts an anti-reflux mechanism was postulated by Da Vinci.[2]
- 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.
