Explanation

The "back wall of the ureteropelvic anastomosis" refers to the rear part of a connection made between the ureter and the renal pelvis. The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and the renal pelvis is a part of the kidney where urine collects before it moves into the ureter. An anastomosis is a surgical connection between two parts of the body, so a ureteropelvic anastomosis is a connection made between the ureter and the renal pelvis, often to correct a blockage or other issue. The back wall of this connection is simply the rear side of this surgical link.
