Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a heterogeneous disease and its management remains one of the most controversial topics in pediatrics. Management options include surveillance, antibiotics, and surgery. The approval of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid (DHA) as a bulking agent by the Food and Drug Administration was followed by wide acceptance of endoscopic techniques as a major tool in the management of reflux. Pyelonephritis rather than VUR is the most common cause of kidney damage in children. It should be emphasized that the primary goal of diagnosing and treating VUR should be preventing this complication. There are no sufficient data in the literature to address the impact of the different treatment modalities on the incidence of febrile urinary tract infections (feb-UTIs) denoting pyelonephritis, with very few studies evaluating endoscopic treatment in light of this clear and well-defined outcome. The fact that we can correct the anatomy at the vesicoureteral junction with a simple and relatively safe outpatient procedure does not justify offering it to all patients. In this review, we attempt to critically evaluate the available literature pertaining to the impact of different treatment modalities on reducing the incidence of febrile UTIs and kidney damage, with a special emphasis on endoscopic treatment.
