The genesis, diagnosis, and therapy of the retrocaval course of the ureter are described with reference to one of the author's own cases. The clinical significance of this anomaly is due to the development of a hydronephrosis. This can be corrected surgically with preservation of the organ by division of the renal pelvis, repositioning, resection of the retrocavally running ureter, and oblique end-to-end anastomosis. An enquiry as to the incidence of this condition revealed 32 retrocaval ureters at 53 West German urology departments in five years.
结合作者自身的一个病例，描述了腔静脉后输尿管的成因、诊断及治疗。这种异常情况的临床意义在于会导致肾积水。通过肾盂离断、重新定位、切除走行于腔静脉后的输尿管以及斜行端端吻合来保留器官，可通过手术纠正这种情况。对这种病症发病率的一项调查显示，在五年时间里，西德的53个泌尿外科科室共发现32例腔静脉后输尿管病例。
