We describe the initial presentation, imaging, port placement, and operative technique including video presentation of a robot-assisted laparoscopic repair of a retrocaval ureter. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We present a rare case of retrocaval ureter and contralateral renal agenesis with renal failure. CASE REPORT A 17-year-old female presented with intermittent right flank pain, dysuria, and intermittent fever for 2 months. [urotoday.com]

• Recurrent Infection

  Treatment of Retrocaval Ureter Surgical treatment is necessary in complications, such as intermittent flank pain, nephrolithiasis or recurrent infections. [urology-textbook.com]

• Intermittent Fever

  CASE REPORT A 17-year-old female presented with intermittent right flank pain, dysuria, and intermittent fever for 2 months. Her physical examination was unremarkable except for a palpable, mildly tender right flank lump. [urotoday.com]

• Right Flank Pain

  We present the first two cases to be reported in Ghana; a 36-year-old male and a 40-year-old female both with right flank pains and associated right hydronephrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Symptoms of right ureteral obstruction Right flank pain Hydronephrosis Pylonephritis fever 8.  Right ureter’s course swings medially over pedicle of L3/4  Passes behind IVC  Then exits anteriorly between IVC and aorta returning to its normal position [slideshare.net]

• Left Flank Pain

  An 84-year-old male patient presented to us with dull, aching left flank pain of 6 months duration. He was moderately built, well-nourished and ambulant with no physical abnormalities. [indianjurol.com]

• Suggestibility

  The intravenous urography (IVU) suggested the diagnosis of retrocaval right ureter, which is confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MR). Make us resection of the retrocaval segment and relocation of the ureter anterior to the inferior vena cava. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Ureteral Disorder

  Ureteral Disorders Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The urine travels from the kidneys to the bladder in two thin tubes called ureters. The ureters are about 8 to 10 inches long. [icdlist.com]

Haematological workup was normal. Ultrasonography showed hydronephrosis with antero-posterior diameter of 3.5cm associated with dilatation of upper ureter (dia-9.2 mm). Micturating cystourethrogram was done to rule out vesico ureteric reflux. [medcraveonline.com]

We present the workup on this patient as well as the management. We also present a literature review regarding this anomaly. Key words: Retrocaval ureter, circumcaval ureter. REFERENCIAS Rubinstein I, Cavalcanti AG, Canalini AF, Freitas MA. [new.medigraphic.com]

• Pneumoperitoneum

  The patient is placed in a modified flank position, pneumoperitoneum created and ports inserted. The colon is mobilized to expose the retroperitoneal structures: inferior vena cava, right gonadal vein, right ureter, and duodenum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Pneumoperitoneum was produced by using a veress needle. 4 ports are then placed. [siiut.com]

  Once pneumoperitoneum was created, a 10 mm port was placed in the semilunar line just above the umbilicus level. A 5 mm port was placed subcostally in midclavicular line and another 5 mm on the spinoumbilical line midway. [urologyannals.com]

• Anisocytosis

  Slight hypochromia; slight anisocytosis; and slight left shift. On the obstetrical service, after finding no urine at two catheterizations, the patient was given sedation, antispasmotics and intravenous fluids. [kundoc.com]

• Creatinine Decreased

  Then, the creatinine decreased gradually. On 9 November 2006, the pyelostomy was closed and left nephrectomy was performed. [journals.lww.com]

CONCLUSIONS: Pure laparoscopic pyelopyelostomy seems technically feasible and reliable for RCU treatment. Our experience showed that laparoscopy should be the standard treatment option for such patients. Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
