ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic and open surgery for the correction of retrocaval ureter.Patients and methodsClinical data of 14 patients with retrocaval ureter were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, nine were treated by open surgical therapy and five by retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. The ureter was transpositioned to a normal anatomic position followed by laparoscopic intracorporeal uretero and ureteric anastomosis.ResultsOpen surgery was successfully performed in nine cases. The mean surgery time was 95.6±22.0 min, and blood loss was 108.6±34.5 mL. The mean hospitalization time was 14.8±1.1 days, and the recovery time was 52.8±1.3 days. Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery was successfully performed in five cases without conversion to open surgery and without severe perioperative complications. The mean surgery time was 112.0±42.1 min, and blood loss was 45.3±15.1 mL. The mean hospitalization time was 7.3±1.9 days, and the recovery time was 23.6±2.4 days. Postoperative urine leakage occurred in one patient. No postoperative ureter stenosis occurred in patients who were treated by retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery.ConclusionRetroperitoneal laparoscopic ureteroplasty in patients with retrocaval ureter is safe and effective with less trauma and faster recovery and could be used as first choice for the treatment of retrocaval ureter.

“…All retrocaval ureters found in our study were on the right. Left retrocaval ureter is associated with situs inversus, or duplicated or single left IVC [4,5,7,20,21,28,30]. In double IVC, the retrocaval ureter is present on the right or left side [4,5,7].…”

“…It is an exceptionally rare anomaly and associated with either complete or partial abdominal situs inversus, duplicated IVC or single left IVC. There are only nine cases of left retrocaval ureter published in the medical literature 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ( Table 1 ). Among them, there is only one pediatric case: a 10-month-old girl with Goldenhar's syndrome, diagnosed during routine urological screening.…”

Left retrocaval ureter is an extremely rare congenital malformation which is associated with situs inversus, duplicated or translated inferior vena cava (IVC). We report a female adolescent who presented with a history of intermittent, colicky lumbar pain. Diagnostic workup revealed left retrocaval ureter and left ureterohydronephrosis. The girl underwent laparoscopy. The renal pelvis and ureter posterior to the vena cava were dissected, transected at the caudal point of the dilated ureteral segment, and uncrossed and repositioned lateral to the vena cava. Ureteroureterostomy was performed over a double-J ureteral stent after spatulation of the distal ureter. The postoperative course was uneventful and the ureteral stent removed after 5 weeks. During follow-up, the patient is symptom-free. Our case demonstrates that our laparoscopic approach is feasible in this rare anatomic anomaly.
