Careful Dissection of the Distal Ureter Is Highly Important in Nerve-sparing Radical Pelvic Surgery
A 3D Reconstruction and Immunohistochemical Characterization of the Vesical Plexus
OBJECTIVE:
Radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy (RHL) is the preferred treatment for early-stage cervical cancer. Although oncological outcome is good with regard to recurrence and survival rates, it is well known that RHL might result in postoperative bladder im ...
