Volume 8, Number 4Reviews in UrologyRobotic Ureterolysis, Retroperitoneal Biopsy, and Omental Wrap for the Treatment of Ureteral Obstruction Due to Idiopathic Retroperitoneal FibrosisCase ReviewMichael D StifelmanPatrick W MufarrijRetroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare disorder of unclear etiology characterized by chronic inflammation of the retroperitoneum, which can involve any of the retroperitoneal structures, most notably the ureters, aorta, and vena cava. Historically, open biopsy, ureterolysis, and transpositioning or omental wrapping of the involved ureter(s) have been the preferred surgical treatments of RPF, with success rates greater than 90%. More recently, successful laparoscopic biopsy, ureterolysis, and ureteral omental wrapping and intraperitonealization have been described. We report the first case in the literature of idiopathic RPF managed with robotic ureterolysis and laparoscopic omental ureteral wrapping.

Volume 8, Number 3Reviews in UrologySpurious Hypocalcemia After Gadodiamide-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Case Report and Review of the LiteratureCase ReviewRobert C NewmanChristopher D MooreJames G CairidiGadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is a diagnostic modality widely used in urologic practice. We report on a 54-year-old woman in whom a critically low serum calcium level was measured with standard colorimetric assay after gadodiamide-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. The same phenomenon was noted in 2 other patients seen in our practice. Repeat serum calcium measurements performed several hours later were within normal limits. Commercially available gadolinium-based contrast agents might precipitate critically low serum calcium values when measured by standard colorimetric assay. Physician awareness of gadodiamide-induced spurious hypocalcemia might prevent unnecessary therapeutic interventions. [Rev Urol. 2006;8(3):165-168]Magnetic resonance imagingGadoliniumHypocalcemia
