[A method for preventing the urologic complications connected with the surgical treatment of cancer of the cervix uteri].

A review on the operative methods for prophylaxis of urological complications (fistulas and strictures) due to radical hysterectomy with systemic dissection of lymph nodes is described. The authors recommend the method of T. H. Green as the most effective method. A new method for protection of the ureter with flaps, formed as a "leg" from omentum majus, is proposed. The modification has been used in 20 patients without postoperative complications. The method is recommended in cases, when postoperative stenosis or strictures of the ureters are expected as well as when postoperative irradiation is forthcoming.
