Abstract
- We have evaluated 21 patients, ranging in age from 44 to 71 years (mean: 55 years), who presented to our department with the radiologic characteristics of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Ureterolysis was performed in all cases. Intraperitoneal placement of the ureter was performed in 9, and placement of the ureter in a lateral extraperitoneal position in 12 cases. We found no difference in the postoperative course and radiological and clinical improvement to favour the first or the second method, and therefore we consider the intraperitoneal approach as an unnecessary manoeuvre.
