A member asked:
I have a recurrent colorectal cancer. just finished with chemorad. waiting to go for surgery however doctor mentioned stenting uterus during surgery.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stenting ureter!: I think you mean stenting ureter, not uterus! ureter will be stented in cancer operation to avoid any injuries to the ureters. during cancer operation they do a lymph node dissection and they stay wide away from the colon for a good clean margin and to surround the cancer lymphatic drainage.and if there is a local spread to surrounding tissue, ureter will be vulnerable for injuries.
