An 11-year-old boy underwent resection of an abnormally draining ureteral segment of a retrocaval right ureter. Compression by the inferior vena cava may have caused the faulty drainage. End-to-end ureteroureteral anastomosis was carried out. Intraoperative study of perfusion was helpful in the management of this child's condition.
