Abstract:
Clinical and radiographic findings of four patients with retrocaval ureter are presented. An IVP and a retrograde pyelogram usually delineate a retrocaval ureter and inferior venacavogram is helpful in a doubtful case. Division of the renal pelvis with transposition and renastomosis is a preferable from of treatment although segmental resection of the ureter with ruetero-ureteral anastomosis is indicated at times.
