Abstract

Objectives: to evaluate the treatment of retrocaval ureter by transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Methods: Retrospective study.


Results: Retrocaval ureter also referred to as pre-ureteral vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly with the ureter passing posterior to the inferior vena cava. The inferior vena cava compresses the upper portion of the ureter resulting in varying degrees of hydroureteronephrosis. We report two cases of a child with retrocaval ureter that was incidentally diagnosed while investigating for intermittent right renal colic, which was successfully treated by transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty.


Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the safety and feasibility of the procedure for this condition.
