| Popis: |
Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a disease entity rarely encountered by the general surgeon. In most cases, ureteral stricture is the underlying problem requiring lysis of fibrotic adhesions. However, infrequently, the gastrointestinal tract may become involved. The following report describes the complications of intestinal obstruction by RPF in one of our patients. The discussion then focuses on the need for early diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal invasion by RPF. |
