A retrocaval ureter or circumcaval ureter is the result of an abnormality from the posterior cardinal vein persisting as a segment of the infrarenal vena cava (VC) during development. Open ureteroureterostomy has been the gold standard for many years. However, with the growth of minimally invasive surgery, which reduced postoperative pain, promotes less intraoperative bleeding with earlier return to daily activities and has excellent cosmetic results, laparoscopic procedures have almost replaced open Surgery. But the main limiting factor is increased the surgical time. Through this clinical case and literature review, we try to provide tips to overcome this problem.
