摘      要：Retrocaval ureter is a very rare congenital malformation. We report a 10 years’ experience in the diagnosis and treatment of retrocaval ureter, a case series of 3 cases in two different countries of the Middle East. This is a retrospective study that included 3 cases of retrocaval ureters in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Standard open ureteroureteric anastomosis was performed through a flank incision for each case. Patients’ symptoms were re-evaluated after two to four months. Complete recovery from symptoms occurred, and hydroureter and hydronephrosis regressed in all cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are the keys to prevent hydronephrosis and deterioration of renal functions.
