This article describes a rare clinical case of a left-sided oblique inguinal extraperitoneal ureteral hernia, incidentally detected during follow-up contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen, retroperitoneum, and pelvis performed four months after robotic-assisted left partial nephrectomy. Identification of this urinary tract anomaly may substantially influence the choice of optimal management in the presence of obstructive uropathy and, in asymptomatic cases, helps prevent potential iatrogenic injury to the involved ureter.
