ABSTRACT = {Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rarely occurring disease 
process characterized by the development of fibrous plaques 
that encase retroperitoneal organs and major vessels. The 
most common sequelae is obstructive uropathy secondary 
to ureteral compression. Ureterolysis with intraperitoneal 
transposition and omental wrapping has historically 
been a popularized means to relieve ureteral obstruction. 
We present the case of a 47-year-old man with bilateral 
hydronephrosis secondary to RPF. Due to insufficient 
length of omentum, we report the first documented use 
of SurgiWrap to wrap the ureters to minimize the future 
possibility of recurrent/continued fibrosis, compression, 
and ureteral obstruction.},
