Description
Ajay Ramesh leads a team with a hidden retrocaval ureter case. Their case from twenty twenty-six deals with a man of seventy. He had long term right loin pain that came and went.
Scans showed a swollen kidney and a tight junction that blocked flow. That block masked a second flaw: the ureter ran behind a vein. Both flaws in one non doubled system is very rare. Signs on scans hinted at the hidden vein course. Robot surgery found the ureter behind the big vein. Cutting that segment did not free the kidney, they report.
