Abstract
VUR is not a guaranteed consequence of Double-J stent placement. Therefore, when upper urinary tract instillation with the Double-J technique is considered, a cystogram should be performed first to confirm the occurrence of reflux, determine the intravesical volume required to induce reflux and ascertain that the pertinent section of the ureter or pelvicaliceal system from which the tumor was initially removed is opacified during study. An interval that remains to be defined should be allowed between stent insertion and VUR assessment.
