The paper provides a brief review of literature on the problem of retroperitoneal fibrosis and the author`s own observation on the diagnosis and successful surgical treatment of idiopathic Ormond`s disease. Retroperitoneal fibrosis is the development of a nonspecific inflammatory process in the adipose tissue of the retroperitoneal space with the formation of a fibrous lesion around the aorta, vena cava inferior, iliac vessels. The focus of fibrosis can spread towards the ureters and compresses them. One- or two-sided hydrouretheronephrosis leads to a chronic kidney disease. The given observation presents the diagnosis and method of the surgical treatment of a patient with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis with bilateral hydrouretheronephrosis and a chronic kidney disease.
