“…Ovarian vein syndrome was first reported by Clark in 1964 1 , who attributed the rare ureteral obstruction, to the normal anatomic relationship between the ureter and the ovarian vein. Since this initial description, various authors have implicated different factors which may cause or contribute to the its pathogenesis: an increase in pressure of the dilated ovarian vein 2,3 , presence of an aberrant ovarian vein 4 , the existence of a fibrous sheath 1 , an ovarian vein thrombosis 5 , or tumors invading the vena cava. 2,6 Anatomically, the gonadal vein passes superiorly and medially to enter the inferior vena cava or renal vein and causes minimal oblique indentation with medial deviation of the ureter in the L3-L5 region and same indentation is seen as it encounters the iliac arteries at the S1 level, as reported by Dure-Smith 4 .…”

Ovarian vein syndrome is a rare condition of ureteral obstruction secondary to the normal overlying of the ovarian vein. The syndrome’s existence is controversial and only a few cases worldwide had been reported. There are no documented cases in the Philippines. This is a case of a 23-year-old female with ovarian vein syndrome. Presenting with hematuria associated with left flank pain, a dilated collecting system and proximal ureter on the left, with a vessel crossing over the point of obstruction, was documented on computed tomography. Ureterolysis and ligation of the offending ovarian vein were done via a laparoscopic approach. The postoperative course was unremarkable and on four-month out-patient follow-up, patient was symptom free and had a complete resolution of his hydronephrosis. Key words: ovarian vein syndrome

“…In nulliparous women, non-pregnant multiparous women and in children, the treatment is conservative. Yet, pregnancy may promote an intensification of this condition, leading to the necessity of a surgical intervention (1). We present case report of 1 ovarian vein syndrome treated by laparoscopic approach, with surgical technique description.…”

Introduction: The main objective of this article is to describe ureterolysis and ovarian vein resection laparoscopic technique.Surgical technique: With the patient in a 45 o flank position, 3 trocars are used, 1 of 12 mm in the umbilicus for the optic passage, and 2 of 5 and 10 mm inserted in right hypochondrium and iliac fossa, respectively, for the forceps and stapler passage. The ureter and ovarian vein are identified after the mobilization of the colon. Both structures are dissected, with one ovarian vein segment is resected between metallic clips.Comments: the ureteral approach by transperitoneal laparoscopy and colon mobilization facilitates its dissection, identify its relation to other structures, as well as making possible the concomitant treatment of gynecological diseases. For the ovarian syndrome treatment, ureterolysis and ovarian vein resection are performed, using only 3 trocars. Owing to its simplicity, low morbidity, and good results obtained, this procedure represents a good option for the surgical management of this syndrome.
