The ureter is identified at operation by:
Correct Answer: Peristaltic movement
Description: At operation, the ureter is recognized by:
Its pale glistening appearance
By a fine longitudinal plexus of vessels on its surface
More particularly by its peristaltic movement
By palpation between finger and thumb as a firm cord which, when escapes, gives a characteristic 'snap'.
The absence of pulsation does not serve to identify a structure as ureter because veins and obliterated umbilical artery are also non-pulsatile.
