ureteric orifice

The opening of the ureter into the bladder.

orifice

1. the entrance or outlet of any body cavity.

2. any foramen, meatus or opening.

The names of most orifices are self-defining, e.g. atrioventricular, preputial. See also ostium.

atrioventricular orifice

the opening between the atria and ventricles.

cecocolic orifice

aperture through which the cecum connects with the colon.

ileocolic orifice

the communicating orifice between the ileum and the colon.

infundibular orifice

slit-like orifice at the ovarian end of the avian oviduct; positioned near the ovary so that it can grasp the newly extruded oocyte.

intrapharyngeal orifice

the orifice between the nasopharynx and oropharynx which is bounded by the palatopharyngeal arches.

nasomaxillary orifice

the slit-like opening between the maxillary sinus and the middle meatus of the nasal cavity.

large, oval opening at the end of the omasal canal which communicates with the abomasum.

Their techniques were similar in terms of INTRAVESICAL and EXTRAVESICAL, but they describe coagulating the ureteric orifice to prevent distal seeding during radical nephroureterectomy rather than a needlescopically applied Endoloop as generally used in our study.

Several variations on the endoscopic approach are likely being used, including endoscopic resection of the ureteric orifice, cauterization of orifice followed by excision with a Collings knife, and laparoscopic ligation of the orifice with an Endoloop followed by Collings knife excision.
