Rare Case of Retrocaval Ureter Successfully Managed at Urology Unit-I, Mayo Hospital Lahore

A 15-year-old male presented with complaints of right flank pain. Initial ultrasound revealed right-sided hydronephrosis with proximal hydroureter. Further evaluation with CT Urography (CTU) showed gross dilatation of the proximal ureter with suspicion of a mid-ureteric stricture.

To further delineate the pathology, Retrograde Pyelography under fluoroscopy was performed. Interestingly, it demonstrated the classic “Fish-Hook sign,” leading to the diagnosis of a rare congenital anomaly — Retrocaval (Circumcaval) Ureter, in which the ureter passes posterior to the inferior vena cava, causing obstruction.

The patient underwent surgical correction with ureteral dissection and end-to-end ureteroureterostomy, performed successfully by Dr. Muhammad Waqas, Assistant Professor Urology-I under supervision of Prof. Dr. Fawad Nasrullah.

The patient has an excellent postoperative recovery and is doing well in ward.

This case highlights the importance of careful radiological evaluation and intraoperative decision-making in rare urological anomalies.

Urology Unit-I, Mayo Hospital Lahore remains committed to delivering advanced and compassionate urological care.

A 20-year-old male patient, a known case of Prune Belly Syndrome (deficient anterior abdominal wall musculature with bladder exstrophy), had been living with severe disability and continuous urine leakage for the past 18 years. An attempted bladder augmentation in childhood at a periphery was unsuccessful, following which bilateral cutaneous ureterostomies were performed, significantly compromising his quality of life.

At Urology Unit 1, Mayo Hospital Lahore, the patient successfully underwent Bladder Augmentation using an ileal segment along with a Mitrofanoff procedure (appendicovesicostomy), enabling continent urinary drainage through the abdominal wall.
The complex reconstructive surgery was performed by Prof. Dr. Fawad Nasrullah, assisted by Assistant Professor Dr. Muhammad Waqas.

Postoperative recovery remained uneventful, and the patient has been discharged in stable condition without any complications, marking a significant improvement in his quality of life.

This achievement reflects the commitment of Urology Unit 1 to delivering advanced reconstructive urological care and restoring dignity and independence to patients with complex congenital conditions.
