Abstract：Objective To investigate the microstructure of the cardinal ligament(CL) and then provides histological evidence for its function.Methods 22 CLs were collected from the patients who undergoing typer Ⅲ radical hysterectomy.Systematic qualitative researches were approached using HE staining,immunohistochemistry and some special staining methods.Results The CL contains:(1)massive fibrous connective tissues,with mainly collagenous fiber and other elastic fiber apd smooth muscle fiber.(2)massive adipose tissues.(3)abundant autonomic nerve tissues including sympathetic nerve,sympathetic ganglion,parasympathetic nerve and parasympathetic ganglion;the nerve mainly in the lower part of cardinal ligament.(4)abundant blood vessels mainly in the upper paty of the cardinal ligament.(5)dispersed lymphatic vessels and seared lymphatic tissues and lymphatic nodes.Conclusion Our results have informed that CL is a complicated structure.Its micro-structure characteristics make it be the basic of the occurrence and development of some diseases and complications.
