Recurrent urinary tract infections are very common in clinical practice. Endovesical installation of hyaluronic acid helps to restore the protective glycosaminoglycan layer on the surface of bladder urothelium and reduces the frequency of recidives. This treatment represents an effective option especially for patients in whom regime measures in combination with non-antimicrobial or antimicrobial prophylaxis has been unsuccessful.

Keywords: recurrent urinary tract infections, endovesical treatment, hyaluronic acid.
