There is increasing awareness that vesico-ureteric reflux is associated with the occurrence of renal scars. The influence of infection in scar formation is unclear. The way in which corrective surgery may prevent scar development in selected patients is gradually becoming apparent. It would seem probable that surgical correction of vesico-ureteric reflux is indicated only in infants and young children with gross vesico-ureteric reflux.
