Presentation
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]

Ankle Edema
The patient was 7 months into her fifth pregnancy, which had been uneventful except for ankle edema. Approximately 18 hours before admission, the patient had a sudden onset of severe pain in the right flank and loin associated with nausea. [kundoc.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]

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]

Impulsivity
The electrophysiological activity was normal with normal anterograde impulse transmission. Renal pelvic pressure and pressure increase during forced diuresis was within a normal range. [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]
Workup
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]
Serum
-
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]
Treatment
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]

Etiology
In light of the experimental studies, one of the etiologic factors seems to be maternal contact with diethylene glycol monomethyl ether or ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In spite of the fact the pathophysiological consequences of this anomaly are very serious, clinical manifestations are relatively poor. Experience with the management of this disorder in our 4 patients justifies the therapy we applied. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Diagnosis of retrocaval ureter should increase the awareness of the responsible physician on the possibility of concomitant malformations where treatment could prevent future symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The percutaneous nephrostomy was done to relieve the obstruction, which must have prevented the irreversible tubular damage. This is the most probable reason for the reversal of renal failure and stable serum creatinine over 12 months of follow-up. [urotoday.com]
