RETROCAVAL BURIAL - THE RARE REASON FOR HYDRONOPHROSIS - THE CHILD OF 1.5 YEARS

Abstract

The article describes a clinical case in a child with a rare cause of hydronephrosis - a retrocaval localization of the ureter. This anomaly presents certain difficulties for diagnosis and is most often detected intraoperatively. In the given clinical example, a good result was obtained after laparoscopic pyeloplasty in a child with an intraoperatively detected retrovascular ureter.
