about an observation with successful plastic correction
Keywords:
anomalities, ureter, surgeryAbstract
A case of retrocava ureter was treated successfully by corrective plastic surgery. This is a rare disease, venous in origin, though its consequences are found in the urinary tract (hydronephrosis). Embriological and ethiopathogenic characteristics, clinical symptoms and radiological signs are discussed in this paper.
Association of ureteral contrast with cavography provides certainty in diagnosis. Treatment usually consists it: preservative surgery (transposition of ureter) altrough
in incipient cases abstention with periodic control is justified; when evolution is advanced nephrectomy is the only possible solution.
