  • Title: Laparoscopic ureterolysis for idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis.
    Author: Okumura A, Murakami K, Nozaki T, Fuse H.
    Journal: Int J Urol; 2005 Dec; 12(12):1079-81. PubMed ID: 16409618.
    Abstract:
    Three patients with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis underwent laparoscopic ureterolysis. Two patients were bilateral cases which were performed successfully as a one stage procedure. Another patient, who was unsuccessfully treated, had a long ureteral stricture. Laparoscopic ureterolysis may be a useful alternative to open surgical management especially in bilateral cases, except for patients with a long ureteral stricture.
