    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Retroperitoneal involvement from advanced prostatic carcinoma can cause severe ureteric obstruction.
    • Traditional treatments for ureteric obstruction may have limitations in complex cases.

    Observation:

    • A novel surgical technique involving complete bilateral ureteric replacement with a silicone prosthesis was performed.
    • The patient presented with retroperitoneal disease secondary to prostate cancer.

    Findings:

    • The silicone prosthesis provided a successful bilateral ureteric replacement.
    • Immediate and long-term functional and social outcomes were highly satisfactory.

    Implications:

    • This procedure offers a promising new surgical option for specific cases of ureteric obstruction.
    • The use of silicone prostheses warrants further investigation in managing complex urological conditions.
