Abstract
The authors describe uterus retrieval in cadavers. Uterine retrieval with its vasculature could be successfully achieved in four of the presented cases. Special attention was given to dissection of bilateral ureters and hypogastric vasculature. Uterine retrieval with its vasculature and supporting sacrouterine, vesicouterine peritoneal folds is an anatomically feasible procedure in preparation for uterus transplantation.
