Posterior Urethral Valves: Current Treatments and Long-Term Outcomes.

The article discusses research on current treatments for and long-term results associated with posterior urethral valves (PUVs). It references studies by several groups, including one by C. Holmberg and colleagues in the 2011 issue of "Journal of Urology." A retrospective assessment of the patients showed a total of 24 males with PUVs since 2007. Two of the three patients who were given renal transplantation experienced reflux into the transplanted kidney.
