Abstract
Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital obstructive uropathy resulting from a vascular abnormality - the posterior cardinal vein persisting as a segment of the infrarenal vena cava that entraps the right proximal ureter. Although an open access to the reconstruction is still considered as a gold standard, a minimally invasive approach was reported in the literature.
Authors present a case report of a 12-year-old girl with a symptomatic retrocaval ureter managed with laparoscopic access. This is the first report in the Czech literature.
