Summary The authors present 6 cases of retrocaval ureter treated by conservative surgery (4 cases) and nephrectomy (2 cases). One case simulated the nephrotic syndrome and 1 patient had a kidney rupture caused by lumbar trauma. Attention is focused on pre‐operative diagnostic methods, radio‐isotope investigation and certain aspects of surgical technique involved in the treatment of the condition.
