Complications :- associated with this surgery are - infection of the main wound , leak of urine around the tubes instead of thru them, the bladder that had been opened for the operation may leak urine outside. Late complications of this procedure are recurrence of the reflux if the tunnel length is inadequate, inappropriate, or due to infection damage; the other is narrowing at the new junction of the ureter an the bladder leading to obstruction of urinary flow and dilatation of the ureter with back pressure on the kidney and damage.

The therapy of secondary reflux is naturally treatment of the basic cause like obstruction distal to the bladder, abnormal bladder function treatment with specific drugs. In most cases, therapy of the primary cause and patience will allow the reflux to subside on it own and no specific therapy is required. If the reflux persists or its complication occurs then it will be necessary to treat the reflux also as has been just described.
