Abstract
-
The idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis means that proliferation of fibrous tissue in the retroperitoneal cavity influences the aorta, inferior vena cava, psoas muscle and ureter, and its etiology is not found. Especially, when both ureters are compressed, hydronephrosis resulted in uremia are developed progressively, and it may be treated by urinary diversion. We report a case of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis that treated by bilateral pyelo-ileo-neocystostomy and postoperative metabolic derangement that managed successfully with brief review of literature.
