Abstract：Objective:To investigate vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)after ureteroscopy and discuss the possible mechanism.Methods:1 52 patients undergoing ureteroscopy were chosen randomly.Each patient respectively accept-ed micturae cystourethrography (MCU)examination preoperatively and postoperatively.The first postoperative MCU was done on the day after removal of the catheter.If VUR was found this time,MCU reexamination was done 3-6 months later.Results:In all 1 52 cases,no VUR was found in preoperative MCUs.In the first postoperative MCU examination,VUR of degree Ⅰ occurred in one case,and recovered 5 months later.Conclusions:Early VUR after ureteroscopy happens rarely,lightly and temporarily.Multiple ureteroscopic insertions into ureter during single operation could not increase the risk of VUR occurrence.It's not necessary to make MCU as a routine follow-up item after ureteroscopy.
