Implication

Histological study reveals linear growth of distal and intravesical ureters across gestation in fetuses, indicating the length-to-diameter ratio is lower than previously assumed.

Key Points

Define normative anatomical reference values for the development of the distal and intravesical ureter and ureterovesical junction across gestation.
Histological analysis of 90 normal fetal and newborn ureters.
Utilized plastinated sections of whole pelves to evaluate sectional anatomy, mesenchymal thickness, and smooth muscle wall growth.
Correlated distal and intravesical ureteral dimensions and lengths with gestational age.
Intravesical ureteral length, mesenchymal wall thickness, and smooth muscle wall thickness increased in a significant positive linear correlation with gestational age (p < 0.0001).
The ratio of intravesical ureteral length to ureteral diameter was observed to be substantially lower than historical reference estimates.
