European review for medical and pharmacological sciences·2022

Uterus retrieval from cadavers, including vasculature and supporting structures, was successfully demonstrated. This anatomical procedure is feasible for preparing for uterus transplantation.

Area of Science:

Surgical anatomy
Transplantation surgery

Background:

Uterus transplantation is an emerging field offering fertility options.
Cadaveric models are crucial for surgical training and procedural development.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe and evaluate the anatomical feasibility of uterus retrieval from cadavers.
To detail the surgical technique for uterine vasculature and supporting structures dissection.

Main Methods:

Cadaveric dissection focusing on meticulous isolation of the uterus.
Detailed dissection of bilateral ureters, hypogastric vasculature, and associated peritoneal folds.
Documentation of the surgical steps and outcomes.

Main Results:

Successful uterus retrieval with intact vasculature was achieved in four out of four cases.

The procedure highlighted the importance of careful dissection of critical anatomical structures.

The anatomical relationships of the uterus and its vascular supply were confirmed.

Conclusions:

Uterus retrieval with its vasculature and supporting peritoneal folds is anatomically feasible in a cadaveric setting.
This technique serves as a vital preparation step for potential uterus transplantation surgeries.
The described method provides a foundation for further refinement of uterus retrieval protocols.
