title: The evaluation by means of ultrasounds of the bladder residue after gynaecological operations.
abstract: An echographic study of the bladder in 42 patients after gynaecological operation has been carried out to evaluate the urinary residue. We prove that we have a better approximation to the real urinary volumes, using the ellipsoid formula that permits the measuring of the longitudinal, front-rear and lateral-lateral diameters of the bladder; then we elaborated tables that gave us directly the quantity of urine in the bladder of the three diameters echographically measured.
