| | Ureter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | There are no valves in the ureters, backflow being prevented by pressure from the filling of the bladder, as well as the tone of the muscle in the bladder wall. | | | Medical problems that can affect the ureter include: | | | The inner loose spiral is sometimes described as longitudinal, and the outer as circular, (this is the opposite to the situation in the gastrointestinal tract). |

| | A colposuspension surgery is performed in order to improve the tone of the valve of the bladder; this involves creating a sling around the urethra by suturing the front part of the vagina to the body wall, around the urethra. | | | In our experience, about 75% of the dogs will have normal urinary continence after this surgery; the literature reports a lower success rate, however, these reports do not include cases that received the triad of surgeries discussed above: ureteral replantation, urethroplasty, and colposuspension | | | Surgical intervention is required to treat this condition |
