Abstract:
Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly of the urogenital organ originating from the venous maldevelopment. To our knowledge, retrocaval ureter with contralateral renal agenesis has not been reported in Korea. Recently, we experienced a case of retrocaval ureter with contralateral renal agenesis, and obtained a good result following ureteral resection with end-to-end anastomosis of the ureter.
