“…Management of retrocaval ureter is by division and reanastomosis of the ureter anterior to the IVC. The procedure was classically performed with open surgery however laparoscopic and robotic techniques have also been successful [25, 26]. …”

Abnormalities of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and renal veins are extremely rare. However, with the increasing use of computed tomography (CT), these anomalies are more frequently diagnosed. The majority of venous anomalies are asymptomatic and they include left sided IVC, duplicated IVC, absent IVC as well as retro-aortic and circumaortic renal veins. The embryological development of the IVC is complex and involves the development and regression of three sets of paired veins. During renal surgery, undiagnosed venous anomalies may lead to major complications. There may be significant hemorrhage or damage to vascular structures. In addition, aberrant vessels may be mistaken for lymphadenopathy and may be biopsied. In this review we discuss the embryology of the IVC and the possible anomalies of IVC and its tributaries paying particular attention to diagnosis and implications for renal surgery.

“…It seems that both robotic assisted repair and pure laparoscopic repair offer the same advantages for retrocaval ureter surgery, offering quick recovery and good cosmetic results. Apart from the ergonomic ease for the surgeon and easier intracorporeal suturing provided by robotics, current evidence favours both approaches at the same level, as far as results are concerned [12–14]. …”

The retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital entity, classically managed with open pyeloplasty techniques. The experience obtained with the laparoscopic approach of other more frequent causes of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction has opened the method for the minimally invasive approach of the retrocaval ureter. In our paper, we describe a clinical case of a right retrocaval ureter managed successfully with laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty. The main standpoints of the procedure are described. Our results were similar to others published by other urologic centers, which demonstrates the safety and feasibility of the procedure for this condition.

“…[6][7][8] Experienced lapa- roscopists found no significant advantage of robotic over laparoscopic reconstruction. 7 The operative duration and blood loss in our case are comparable to those reported by others. The average time for robotic retrocaval ureter reconstruction was 80 minutes (range: 75-90) and the average blood loss was 100 mL.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] Few cases of pure robotic repair are reported. [6][7][8] The use of the surgical robot facilitates the most challenging part of the procedure, which is intracorporeal suturing. 9 A surgical variation leading to preservation of the retrocaval segment facilitates the repair.…”

Maintaining the retrocaval ureteric segment further facilitates the procedure. We report a case of a 23-year-old man who underwent intraperitoneal robotic resection anastomosis and repositioning of the retrocaval ureter. We also discuss the advantages of this technique.
