Anatomic variations can be an additional challenge for any surgeon, especially in complicated surgical procedures, and they could lead to complications if not identified timely. We present a case report of an incidental intraoperative finding of unilateral duplicated ureter, identified during pelvic lymphadenectomy for a patient who underwent surgical treatment for ovarian cancer. Also, we include an update on this anatomic variation following the literature review. The importance of a systematic approach in the identification of the relevant anatomy and landmarks, taking into consideration the variation of the duplicated ureter, is emphasized in this paper and may contribute beneficially to the experience of surgeons operating in this field.
解剖变异对任何外科医生来说都是一项额外的挑战，尤其是在复杂的外科手术中，如果未能及时识别，可能会导致并发症。我们报告一例在卵巢癌手术治疗患者盆腔淋巴结清扫术中偶然发现单侧重复输尿管的病例。此外，我们还结合文献综述对这种解剖变异进行了更新。本文强调了系统识别相关解剖结构和标志的方法的重要性，同时考虑到重复输尿管的变异，这可能对该领域的外科医生的经验积累有有益贡献。
