We report two female cases with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) who underwent laparoscopic correction of VUR by the Lich-Gregoir technique. One patient was 10 years of age, with international grade III reflux of the left ureter; the other was 27 years of age, with grade II reflux of the right ureter. The respective operating times were 6 h 40 min and 6 h 10 min. There were no complications during surgery. Although post-surgical ultrasonography revealed mild hydronephrosis in the adult patient, the condition resolved spontaneously 2 months after surgery. The disappearance of reflux was confirmed in both cases by voiding cystography 6 months after surgery.
