Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare chronic inflammatory disease. Urologist have major role in it's diagnosis and treatment because
of typical symptoms of obstruction of ureters. Around 1/3 of cases follows various diseases. The rest of cases has idiopathic ethiology
and is called Ormond's disease. The biggest contribution to diagnosis has CT scan and histological examination of bioptic
material: Because of rarity of disease there are not enough data on effects or assessment of therapy. There is constant search of
new drugs and their combination. New invasive procedures like robotic-assisted surgery and autotransplantation of kidney also
appear. The combination of surgical therapy and pharmacological therapy seems suitable.
