Hey guys,

First day of my general surgery rotation, and my attending gave me a homework project: find the name of the "sign" of the ureter contracting when you touch it (as in surgery). I didn't even think there would be an eponym for that, although I've seen it a few times in the OR. I've been trying fruitlessly to google it for the past while, but no avail - I think my only hope will be if someone else were asked this question on Surgery and remembers the answer... 🙂

Thanks!
