Ureteral structure and ultrastructure. Part IV. The dilated ureter, clinicopathological correlation. 1977

M K Hanna, and R D Jeffs, and J M Sturgess, and M Barkin

The potential of electron microscopy in the study of ureteral dilatation is seldom exploited but ureteral biopsies from 29 congenitally dilated ureters were examined under light and electron microscopy. A correlation between the pathological findings and the result of the surgical correction of these ureters is shown. The prospects of ureteral functional recovery can be predicted when the muscle cell integrity is considered.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
