VUR can also be treated by injection of a material into the wall of the ureter from within the bladder at endoscopy (cystoscopy). Two techniques are called STING or HIT. There is no wound, pain or tube or hospital stay, but it has a lesser success rate than surgery, and reflux can recur over time. It is a reasonable choice when there is reflux of grade 2,3 or 4 of only one side and there is no structural problem of the bladder.
