Abstract

Ureterosciaic hernia is a rarely described pathology that represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the treating physician. In this case report, we present a patient with symptomatic bilateral ureteroschial hernias and a pelvic kidney on the left. The definitive surgical treatment of the hernias was performed in the robotic-assisted laparoscopic technique.This is the second case describing bilateral intestinal sciatic hernia, in combination with its diagnosis and robotic surgical repair.In this paper we present the fourth known case of a robotic approach to the surgical treatment of ureterosciaic hernia with detailed presentation of diagnostic and therapeutic measures, as well as postoperative results and literature research on this rare pathology.
