ureteral
- The colon is the usual gastrointestinal source of pain in these regions but pain of ureteral, renal, adnexal, and rarely gastric origins may be felt there as well.
- This helps the surgeon identify the ureteral orifices during bladder dissection and urethral bladder reanastomosis.
- Other landmarks used to guide resection are the right and left ureteral orifices and the bladder neck.
ureteric
- Urinary tract damage, in particular ureteric injury, remains the major concern in relation to the laparoscopic approach.
- The use of laser for the disruption of ureteric stones is also being used.
- After ureteric stenting the urinary catheter bag turned purple but the nephrostomy bag remained clear.
