    Fig. 23.—Ureter and uterine artery in erect attitude exposed. 1. Arteria uterina with its arterio-ureteral crossing on the ureter and the cervical loop btween the uterus and ureter. 2. Pelvic ureteral spindle. 3 and 3 (a). Arteria hypogastrica. 4. Arteria vesicalis superior. 5. Vesica urinaria. In this drawing a suggestion from Drs. Tandler and Halban is employed. (g), the arteria ureterica distal (at 2). I shall divide the pelvic floor segment by means of the ureter in the external portion (1 to 2) (external two-thirds, about two inches), and internal portion (2 to 4) (internal one-third, about one inch). In the 3 months’ pregnant case the pelvic floor segment is exactly four inches in length and divided equally, in the middle, by the ureter (20, 19 at 2). The cervical loop (3), in this case, is two inches in length. It enlarges and unfolds during gestation. In the long cervical loop (3), which enables the operator to avoid wounding the ureter in hysterectomy, saving many women from suffering and death. The pelvic floor segment crosses proximal to (above) the ureter (20, 19 at 2), so that in pregnancy the proximal-ward movements of the uterus may not kink and obstruct both the artery and ureter. In the dog, cat, rabbit, cow, pig and sheep, my dried and wet specimens show that the uterine artery, unlike in
