Question:

What is deflux?

Author: H K



Answer:

Deflux endoscopic treatment is a non-surgical, minimally invasive injection procedure. Doctor will use a small camera called a cystoscope (a type of endoscope used to view the bladder) to properly place the gel (Hyaluronic Acid/Dextranome (Deflux®)). Deflux is injected into the wall of the bladder where the ureter joins the bladder. The gel forms a bulge that acts like a valve, making it harder for urine to flow backwards." =>efficacy 70% NB: it is not permanent; we have to re-inject after certain time. if not effecatious go for surgery
