title: Retrograde dissection of the adnexa in residual ovary syndrome.
abstract: Injuries to the ureter in the course of gynecologic procedures can occur frequently. The usual histologic signs and symptoms of peri-oophoritis, adhesion and distorted anatomy encountered with residual ovaries make their ablation hazardous to the surrounding structures and the ureter in particular. A method is described and illustrated to facilitate surgical extirpation and render the procedure safe.
