title: The behaviour of the ureters following radiotherapy and Wertheim hysterectomy.
abstract: The pyelographic appearances following Wertheim hysterectomy have been studied in 19 cases. The dilatation of the lumbar segments with unusually rapid transmission through the pelvic segments has been found 6 weeks postoperatively although this dilatation has disappeared in most cases by 6 months. Late ureteric dilatation is of no value in itself in determining the presence or absence of recurrent growth.
