Abstract

Inflammatory aortic aneurysm is rare cause of retroperitoneal fibrosis with ureteral obstruction. Although the treatment options for retroperitoneal fibrosis are variable, a surgical procedure is the best choice when this condition is combined with inflammatory aortic aneurysm. We report here on our experience with laparoscopic bilateral ureterolysis and intraperitonealization of the ureters for the patient suffering with retroperitoneal fibrosis that was caused by an inflammatory aortic aneurysm.
