[Approach to the pelvic ureter by disinsertion of a rectus abdominis muscle]
Abstract:
Disinsertion of one rectus abdominis muscle provides excellent exposure of one side of the pelvis. This offers an approach to the pelvic portion of the ureter and if necessary the possibility of an endovesical procedure at the same time. In common with other authors who use the technique, we fell that reinsertion of the muscle is very secure. The advantages and disadvantages of disinsertion of the rectus are exposed and the place of this technique in the approach to the pelvic portion are discussed.
