French term

engainement

French to English Medical Medical (general) biologie sanguine du patient
Insuffisance rénale évolutive à double composante. Etant donné l'engainement de l'uretère une tentative de mise en place de sond JJ est effectuée. Celle-ci ne permet pas l'amélioration d la fonction rénale.

(Engainement might be referring to section above that says "La jonction uretero-vésicale est difficilement accessible") but I'm not sure.
Thanks for your help

Possibly Helen. Earlier in the text it says that 3 years ago the patient had an operation "pour st�nose de l'ur�tre prostatique par du tissu n�oplasique" but this concerns the urethra. Nothing about the ureter I'm afraid. Doesn't help us much.
Helen Genevier Oct 18, 2005:
Have you seen previous translation http://www.proz.com/kudoz/666580 ? engainement tumoral perinerveux => perineural neoplastic invasion. Does tumour invasion or disease involvement fit with your context?
