Abstract
One third of ureteral injuries in gynecologic surgery occur during vaginal hysterectomy. The current techniques of dissecting the ureters in abdominal hysterectomy should carry over into vaginal operations. We studied 30 consecutive patients having vaginal hysterectomy by a surgical procedure allowing routine vaginal ureteral dissection.Keywords
