5.3.4 Retrocaval ureter

A retrocaval ureter is not an anomaly of the ureter but of the vena cava. Diagnostic evaluation follows the scheme 'Unilateral hydronephrosis' (including excretory urogram). In this rare condition, the ureter is divided, its course corrected and end-to-end anastomosis is performed.
