Abstract

Introduction

Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly that causes ureteral obstruction. Because of the rarity of retrocaval ureter, only a few cases of open, laparoscopic, or robot-assisted surgery have been reported. We herein report a case of retrocaval ureter that was successfully reconstructed with robot-assisted surgery.

Case presentation

A 24-year-old woman was incidentally diagnosed with right hydronephrosis on ultrasonography. Computed tomography revealed retrocaval ureter, and the right hydronephrosis was attributed to the retrocaval ureter. The patient underwent robot-assisted right ureteral reconstruction in the left lateral decubitus position. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred, and no right hydronephrosis was observed 6 months after the operation.

Conclusion

The present case demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction for retrocaval ureter.

一例后腔输尿管机器人辅助输尿管重建术。

导言后腔静脉输尿管是一种导致输尿管梗阻的罕见先天性畸形。由于后腔静脉输尿管的罕见性，仅有少数病例报道过开腹、腹腔镜或机器人辅助手术。我们在此报告一例通过机器人辅助手术成功重建后腔输尿管的病例：病例介绍：一名 24 岁女性在超声波检查中偶然被诊断为右肾积水。计算机断层扫描显示后腔输尿管，右肾积水归因于后腔输尿管。患者在左侧卧位下接受了机器人辅助右输尿管重建术。术中和术后均未出现并发症，术后 6 个月未发现右肾积水：本病例证明了机器人辅助输尿管重建术治疗后腔静脉输尿管的可行性和有效性。
