Abstract: Objective: To investigate the static and dynamic morphological changes of bladder and urethral after hysterectomy by ultrasound,and evaluate the anatomical changes. Methods:Grouping 136 cases of hysterectomy patients according to surgical mode and scope of removal,Group A:29 cases of laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy; Group B:41 cases of abdominal hysterectomy; Group C:66 cases of abdominal radical hysterectomy. Control group:50 cases of no pelvic or abdomen surgical operation experience. Apply abdominal and perineal ultrasound inspection to the groups,measuring parameters include UVJ-M,PUVA and bladder post-void residual volume. Results:There were significant changes in the anatomical structure of urinary tract like bladder and urethra in group C cases after surgery, UVJ-M, PUVA-r and PUVA-s had significant differences between group C and control group (P<0.01). There were changes in the anatomical structure of urinary tract like bladder and urethra in group B cases after surgery, but the degree of change is small compared with group C, UVJ-M had significant changes between group B and control group or group B and group C (P<0.01), PUVA-r, PUVA-s had no significant changes between group B and control group (P>0.05). There were no significant changes in the anatomical structure of urinary tract like bladder and urethra in group A cases after surgery, UVJ-M, PUVA-r and PUVA-s had no significant changes between group A and control group (P>0.05). Conclusions:①Ultrasound can provide a real time observation for the morphological changes of bladder and urethral after hysterectomy and provide an objective evaluation for the anatomical changes. ②Abdominal radical hysterectomy brings the most significant morphological changes of bladder and urethral compared with the other 2 types of hysterectomy,and there are almost no changes by laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy.
