Intentional transvesical cesarean was done for delivery in a woman born with an imperforate anus, ectopic intravaginal urethra, and vaginal and urethral strictures. She had undergone multiple reconstructive procedures that left her bladder completely covering the anterior uterine surface. The rest of the uterus, including the fundus and the broad ligaments, was obscured by multiple bowel adhesions. Cesarean delivery was necessary because of pelvic bone and soft-tissue deformity. Anterior and posterior vertical cystotomies resulted in exposure of the anterior uterine wall, and the fetus was delivered through a vertical uterine incision. The woman recovered and 6 months later has no genitourinary complaints.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...
