    Ureteric obstruction is a rare complication of abdominal aortic aneurysms, often caused by surrounding fibrosis. Surgical intervention, including aneurysm excision and ureterolysis, is typically recommended but requires individualized patient assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) can rarely cause ureteric obstruction.
    • This obstruction is typically due to dense perianeurysmal fibrotic tissue.
    • Retroperitoneal fibrosis can coexist with AAAs.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of patients presenting with both AAA and retroperitoneal fibrosis are described.
    • These cases highlight the association between these conditions.
    • The fibrotic process extended from the aneurysm to involve the ureters.

    Findings:

    • Surgical management involves aneurysm excision and ureterolysis.
    • Intraperitonization of the ureter is a key surgical step.
    • Successful outcomes depend on careful surgical planning and execution.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of ureteric involvement in AAA is crucial.
    • Individualized surgical approaches are necessary for optimal patient outcomes.
    • This condition necessitates a multidisciplinary approach involving vascular surgeons and urologists.
