Laparoscopic Bilateral Ureterolysis in Ormond’s Disease

Abstract: We report a case of retroperitoneal fibrosis with dilation of the upper urinary tract on both sides and impaired renal function in a 66-year-old female. The patient was successfully treated by laparoscopic ureterolysis and intraperitonealization of both ureters with subsequent immunosuppressive medication. Due to intraoperative subcutaneous emphysema, surgical therapy had to be performed as a two-step procedure but postoperative morbidity was minimal with quick recovery. Laparoscopic ureterolysis is a reconstr… Show more

“…When reviewing the literature, there were only two cases treated by bilateral laparoscopic ureterolysis. One was performed as a two step procedure due to intraoperative subcutaneous emphysema during the procedure on one side, 5 and the other was performed as a one step procedure 3 . We treated two bilateral cases laparoscopically as a one step procedure.…”
