Abstract
ROSAS-NAVA, J. Emmanuel et al. Experience of laparoscopic retrocave ureter plasty at Hospital General de México Dr. Eduardo Liceaga. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.3, pp.309-313. Epub Nov 03, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000264.
Introduction:
The retrocave ureter is a rare congenital anomaly that requires surgical management.
Objective:
Report the results in laparoscopic management for retrocave ureter and literature review.
Method:
Retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study in patients with a diagnosis of retrocave ureter who were sometimes a laparoscopic retrocave ureter.
Results:
Four patients sometimes underwent laparoscopic plasty for diagnosis of retrocave ureter, 1 man and 3 women, with a mean age of 40.7 years. The mean operative time was 138.2 minutes. The mean intraoperative quantified blood loss was 23.7 ml. No patient presented transoperative or postoperative complications. The patients remained hospitalized until their progress with an average of 2.5 days. All patients visualize improvement in their symptoms.
Conclusion:
The retrocave ureter is a rare condition and there is still no consensus on its diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. Laparoscopic surgical management is an option for the treatment of these patients.
