Three patients with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis underwent laparoscopic ureterolysis. Two patients were bilateral cases which were performed successfully as a one stage procedure. Another patient, who was unsuccessfully treated, had a long ureteral stricture. Laparoscopic ureterolysis may be a useful alternative to open surgical management especially in bilateral cases, except for patients with a long ureteral stricture.
