Summary

Endoscopic correction of VUR has gained its popularity due to its less invasiveness, associated low morbidity and short hospital stay. Although short term follow-up had justified their efficacy; however, long term recurrence and complications following endoscopic correction were also being reported in the literatures (6). Currently, there are insufficient evidences on the efficacy and safety of biocompatible tissue augmenting materials used for endoscopic correction of VUR; particularly on the new tissue bulking agents. (6) Polyacrylate polyalcohol copolymer (PPC)-Vantris ® (Promedon, Cordoba, Argentina) is the newest tissue augmenting biocompatible Acrylics used for endoscopic correction of VUR.
