Abstract
In this paper, we describe a case of ovarian vein syndrome (OVS) successfully treated with retroperitoneoscopic techniques. A 41-year-old woman complained with right flank pain, especially with a recumbent position. OVS was diagnosed and ureterolysis and ovarian vein resection were successfully performed, using retroperitoneoscopic techniques. The patient has been completely pain free for 36 months of follow-up. To our knowledge, no previous reports have described the retroperitoneoscopic treatment of OVS. With the minimally invasive approach, postoperative recovery and patient quality of life were markedly improved.
