Peroperative measurements of ureteral pressure, bladder pressure, and ureteral electrornyographic activity were performed during bladder filling in five vesicoureteral reflux patients. A total of seven units were investigated. The investigation supports previous observations that nondilated low‐grade reflux ureters have stable low pressure but react to bladder filling by an increase in the peristaltic activity frequency. Dilated high‐grade reflux ureters also react by an increase in peristaltic rate, but at the same time, the bladder pressure is transmitted to the ureter.
