“…The obstruction is due to the compression of the IVC on the ureter, which will lead to a sickle-shaped ureter at the level of obstruction. 5 , 6 The retrocaval ureter (RCU) is typically located on the right side of the body. However, there are some rare conditions where it may be found on the left side, like in cases of situs inversus, duplication of the IVC, or persistent left subcardinal vein.…”

Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital vascular anomaly described as the passage of the ureter behind the inferior vena cava (IVC) and then turning around the IVC to attain the final lateral position. The condition is usually associated with obstruction in the ipsilateral kidney, causing different degrees of hydronephrosis and complications associated with urinary stasis, such as stone formation. Imaging has a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of retrocaval ureter. CT urography may be the procedure of choice to confirm the diagnosis and avoid retrograde ureteropyelography. Indications for treatment include flank pain, recurrent infection, hydronephrosis, and stone formation due to obstruction. Surgical management is standard and can be done through either an open, laparoscopic, or robotic approach. In this case series, we are going to see two cases of retrocaval ureter in a 56-year-old male and a 14-year-old male child who presented with a right flank of less than a couple of months duration. The first case has an associated horseshoe kidney and a solitary secondary stone. Both cases were surgically managed with open ureteral division, relocation, and ureteroureterostomy. Both have uneventful post-operative follow-ups.

Evidence suggests that robot‐assisted ureteroplasty is a safe and feasible management option of ureteral strictures. The retroperitoneal approach to ureteral reconstruction using single‐port (SP) robot can be beneficial in challenging cases of patients with prior history of abdominopelvic surgery or radiation. Herein, we present a standardized approach to retroperitoneal SP robot‐assisted ureteral reconstruction, highlighting the advantages of this technique in selected clinical scenarios.
