Abstract
Ureteroureterostomy is the treatment of choice for symptomatic retrocaval ureter. Initially open approach and now laparoscopic uretero ureterostomy is the prefeered approach (Manickam ramalingam et al.). With the wider availability of robots, robot assisted approach is preferred if available; the primary reason being the ease of suturing.
