- Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease characterized by the presence of a retroperitoneal tissue, consisting of chronic inflammation and marked fibrosis, which often causes ureteral obstruction. Surgical approach is necessary to preserve the renal function, and this is achieved by ureteral stent. The Memokath stent is a new thermo-expandable shape-memory metallic stent. Herein, we report our recent experience of a patient with retroperitoneal fibrosis, which involves bilateral ureter, who underwent successful bilateral Memokath stent insertion.
