Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Deflux = bulking: Deflux mound at the ureteral orifice will appear as a small mass in the bladder or terminal ureter. Uncommon to use it in an adult of your age & adult radiologist, inexperienced in interpreting ultrasounds or CTs in patients after Deflux injections might possibly misinterpret ultrasounds. Pediatric radiologist or urologist better interpreters & certainly worthwhile before undergoing cystoscopy.
