Abstract

Nutcracker syndrome is a rare condition of left renal vein entrapment manifesting with hematuria and flank pain. We report a case of nutcracker syndrome, where a robotic-assisted laparoscopic transposition of the left renal vein was performed. To our knowledge, this is the first case of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery of a nutcracker syndrome.
