A description of the successful surgical treatment of a patient with irreversible changes in both ureters and bladder resulting from a severe form of Ormond's disease and interstitial cystitis, resulting in contracted bladder, is presented. For the first time in clinical practice, a one-stage cystectomy, a bilateral ureterectomy with complete replacement of both ureters and the bladder with two isoperistaltic small bowel segment was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Follow-up contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the kidneys and newly formed urinary tract revealed good excretory function. The patient was discharged in a satisfactory condition on the 22nd day after the procedure with recommendations for taking 10 g of an aqueous solution of soda daily. At the follow-up after 3 months, she had complaints of slight weakness and voided voluntary up to 8 times a day; clinical and biochemical blood tests were normal. This clinical observation indicates the presence of two different diseases in one patient, namely interstitial cystitis and Ormond's disease. The possibility of one-stage complete replacement of both ureters and the bladder with a good immediate result is shown.
