Fig. 2. Identification of the IHP and the UNB to separate the VNB from the paracervix and paracolpium.

Fig. 2

(A) The remaining connective tissue of the vesicovaginal ligament is excised, leaving the dorsolateral tissue containing a portion of the vesical nerve fibers. (B) We demonstrated the plane that separates the vesical nerve fibers from the paracolpium. (C) Identification and selective transection of the UNB. (D) The IHP and VNB move away from the paracervix, paracolpium, and the rectovaginal ligament.

DUV, deep uterine vein; HN, hypogastric nerve; IHP, inferior hypogastric plexus; PSN, pelvic splanchnic nerve; UNB, uterine nerve branches; VNB, vesical nerve branches.
