The ureter is a tube-like structure that connects the kidneys to the bladder, allowing urine to flow from the kidneys to the bladder for excretion. Research in the area of the ureter focuses on understanding its structure, function, and associated disorders such as kidney stones, ureteral obstructions, and ureteral reflux. This research may involve studying the mechanisms of urine transport, development of new diagnostic and treatment methods, and exploring potential interventions to improve ureteral health and function. Understanding the ureter and its role in the urinary system is important for the diagnosis and management of various urological conditions.
