Retroperitoneal fibrosis poses interesting challenges to the urologist both in terms of diagnosis and treatment. This webinar will provide the urological trainee with evidence-based guidance on how to evaluate a patient presenting with retroperitoneal fibrosis and formulate a treatment plan.
There will be a Q&A session at the end of this webinar.
During this webinar you will:
- Learn the types and causes of retroperitoneal fibrosis
- Learn how to differentiate “idiopathic” retroperitoneal fibrosis from retroperitoneal fibrosis developing secondary to other pathology
- Understand the rationale for conservative versus surgical management
- Be able to discuss the pros and cons of different surgical approaches
