title: Retrocaval ureter.
abstract: 3 cases of retrocaval ureter (one of them presenting multiple urological anomalies) are discussed. In the presence of hydronephrosis, early operative reposition of the ureter is essential. Provided that the condition is diagnosed before extreme renal deterioration, the surgical repair can salvage remaining renal function.
