Ninety-five adult patients with primary vesicoureteral reflux were reviewed concerning the presenting symptoms, radiological findings, associated renal damage, treatment and results of follow-up. We found a relatively high incidence of reflux in adult males. Although urinary tract infection and flank pain were the most common presentation, others had a wide variety of complaints not directly attributable to reflux. Renal anomalies were present in 37 patients. We found surgical correction of reflux useful in preventing infection, and recommend it especially in young women who may become pregnant.
