Purpose. We reviewed our 20 years of experience and the current literature regarding the long-term outcome of endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) using the different tissue bulking substances with a special emphasis on the long-term efficacy.Material and Methods. Our own experience and the current literature on the long-term results after endoscopic treatment using various bulking agents were reviewed.Results. Short-term data following endoscopic treatment of VUR is similar to the various substances and comparable in the majority of the series to the success rate following open surgery. Recently, a relatively high recurrence rate was noticed especially with the use of dextranomer hyaluronic acid (Dx/HA) as a tissue augmenting material which raises the need for further search for alternative substances.Conclusions. Unfortunately, there is a significant shortage of evidence-based literature on the long-term followup after endoscopic correction of reflux with various substances. No doubt, there is a high recurrence rate during long-term followup after Dx/HA injection, and there is probably lack of proper evaluation regarding the long-term efficacy of other bulking materials. These facts demand long-term close observation and long-term studies beyond the routine protocols following endoscopic treatment of VUR and the correct parental counseling upon the endoscopic correction.

Abstract Long-term results (average follow-up, 9.3 years) obtained in 1000 consecutive patients suffering from cryptogenetic (“essential”) trigeminal neuralgia treated with percutaneous thermorhizotomy are analyzed. Pain relief was obtained in 95% of the treated patients. Permanent morbidity was as follows: masseter weakness in 105 patients; oculomotor palsies in 5 patients; weakening of the corneal reflex in 197 patients, 6 of whom requested an ocular operation for keratitis; and painful dysesthesia in 52 patients, 15 of whom developed a painful anesthesia syndrome. There was a recurrence rate of 18.1%, and a correlation between postoperative sensory deficit and the cure rate was found. These results are discussed and compared to the results obtained with different techniques.

Objective: To present the results of external valvuloplasty of the saphenofemoral junction in selected patients with insufficiency of the greater saphenous vein after a mean follow up of 54 months. Methods: A total of 54 legs were prospectively studied and re-examined a mean of 54 months after the operation. The severity of the patients' symptoms and their satisfaction with the procedure were recorded. Furthermore, the venous refill time, the severity of reflux and the diameter of the greater saphenous vein were recorded preoperatively and again at follow up. Results: In 46 cases (85%) the patients were satisfied with the outcome of the procedure. At follow up, the mean severity of symptoms was significantly lower in every symptom category. The venous refill time was reduced by a mean of 5 seconds and the diameter of the greater saphenous vein was reduced by a mean of 3 mm. Reflux in the saphenofemoral junction despite the valvuloplasty was demonstrated in six legs (11.1%), and reflux in the distal saphenous trunk despite a competent valvuloplasty was seen in 18 cases (33.3%). When reflux was present at the follow-up examination, it affected a significantly shorter segment of the greater saphenous vein than preoperatively. Treatment for recurrent symptoms was necessary in 10 (18.5%) limbs. Conclusions: External valvuloplasty of the saphenofemoral junction offers good results in terms of patient satisfaction, relief of symptoms and recurrence rate. With long-term results still pending, this vein-sparing operation might be an alternative to stripping in selected patients.
