title: [Anatomical and surgical meaning of the ureters during the performance of radical hysterectomy].
abstract: During the pelvic surgery ureters are dissected until they flow to the bladder. For this reason surgen must be knowleadgable about the anatomy of the vesico-ureteral unit and the blood supply of the ureters,because the majority of the early and late complications, especially following pelvic irradiation,are related to the function of kidneys and ureters. In the present review attention is paid on the ureters as an anatomical marker during the performance of radical hysterectomy and on the possible intraoperative complications, identification and avoidance of ureteral injuries,as well. Authors also discussed on the management of ureteral damages.
