Abstract:
:The main goal of surgery for retroperitoneal fibrosis is to free the ureters from sclerotic tissue and pressure them from further extension of the disease; the omentum may be used as an efficient barrier against recurrence of fibrosis. We present 11 patients with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis treated with ureterolysis and omentoplasty - in four patients the procedure was performed bilaterally, in seven the omentum was used to protect only one ureter, but in six there was a surgical or functional solitary kidney. Out of 15 ureters, residual dilatation was observed only in two, with marked clinical improvement in all patients. Mean follow-up was 51 months.
