The right ovary, uterine tube and round ligament have been detached and removed. The uterine artery (10) has been elevated slightly to demonstrate its passage across the ureter as it approaches the lateral border of the uterus. The uterosacral and lateral cervical (cardinal) ligaments have been dissected to reveal the pelvic plexus and ganglia (11).
