The mean (range) length of the narrow segment of the ureter was 30 (10\u201390) mm. During surgery, after having been released from adhesive tissue, the stenotic segment of the ureter was wrapped with Seprafilm to isolate it from the surrounding tissue. A radiographic follow\u2010up was performed every 6 months using computed tomography, i.v. pyelography and\/or\n 99m<\/jats:sup>\n T<\/jats:styled-content>\n c\u2010mercapto\u2010acetylglycyl\u2010glycyl\u2010glycine (\n 99m<\/jats:sup>\n T<\/jats:styled-content>\n c\u2010\n MAG3<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) renal scintigraphy.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n For the unilateral operations, the mean estimated blood loss was 39\u2009mL, and the mean operating time was 154\u2009min. All ureters were isolated from the fibrotic tissue and wrapped with Seprafilm successfully without major complications. During the mean follow\u2010up period of 17 months, no ureteric restenoses were observed in the affected sides, but new stenosis occurred in the contralateral side of the ureter in one patient.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n Although the follow\u2010up period is still limited, we believe that the use of\n S<\/jats:styled-content>\n eprafilm has the potential to become an effective option in the treatment of ureteric stenosis caused by\n RPF<\/jats:styled-content>\n , when the omentum cannot be used. To establish the relative advantages of using Seprafilm over performing a standard omental wrap, further experimentation will be required to compare the two techniques.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/bju.12701","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,25]],"date-time":"2014-02-25T04:56:38Z","timestamp":1393304198000},"page":"563-567","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A new treatment for retroperitoneal fibrosis: initial experiences of using\n S<\/scp>\n eprafilm\n \u00ae<\/sup>\n to wrap the ureter"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"Osamu","family":"Kamihira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komaki City Hospital Komaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsuyoki","family":"Hirabayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komaki City Hospital Komaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asaomi","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komaki City Hospital Komaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Hirabayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komaki City Hospital Komaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshie","family":"Moriya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komaki City Hospital Komaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akitoshi","family":"Fukatsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komaki City Hospital Komaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoko","family":"Yoshikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komaki City Hospital Komaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Osamu","family":"Matsuura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Komaki City Hospital Komaki Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyosuke","family":"Kimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology National Hospital Organization Nagoya Medical Center Nagoya Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2007.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9343(03)00056-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(06)68035-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","first-page":"231","article-title":"Post\u2010treatment residual tissue in idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis: active residual disease or silent \u2018scar'?
