Curr Urol. 2020 Mar;14(1):50-53. doi: 10.1159/000499260. Epub 2020 Mar 20.

Abstract

Duplex collecting system of the kidney is a common congenital anomaly of the urinary tract and is less reported in the adult population. Rarely, this anomaly can result in ureterovesical junction compression. Herein, we present a case of ureterovesical junction compression occurring in an adult patient with a duplex collecting system and describe the surgical management.

Keywords: Duplex collecting system; Heminephrectomy Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery; Heminephroureterectomy; Ureterovesical junction obstruction.
