title: The ureterovesical junction of the rabbit.
abstract: Twelve New Zealand rabbits were studied for ureterovesical reflux. Dissections revealed the intramural ureter and ureterovesical junction to follow an upward and medial course, unlike the course observed in man. This course could not be altered or distorted by dissection of the bladder base or ureter, by freeing the urether retroperitoneally, or by changing the position of the animal.
