Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography01:22

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...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management01:21

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:
Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:
Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management01:25

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...
Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry01:19

Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry

Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Bladder dysfunction is a significant morbidity following pelvic colorectal surgery.
  • Autonomic nerve disruption, particularly of the pelvic autonomic plexus, is a common cause.
  • While surgical techniques have improved, postoperative bladder dysfunction persists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of bladder dysfunction following pelvic colorectal surgery.
  • To discuss pertinent neuroanatomy, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
  • To highlight the importance of urodynamics in patient management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of neuroanatomy relevant to pelvic autonomic nerves.
  • Discussion of diagnostic challenges and the role of urodynamics.
  • Outline of individualized treatment approaches based on urodynamic findings.

Main Results:

  • Contemporary surgical modifications decrease, but do not eliminate, the incidence of bladder dysfunction.
  • Patient symptoms are often unreliable for diagnosing bladder dysfunction.
  • Urodynamics offers objective measurements essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Conclusions:

  • Bladder dysfunction remains a significant concern after pelvic colorectal surgery.
  • Urodynamic evaluation is paramount for accurate diagnosis and guiding individualized treatment.
  • Personalized management, considering patient factors, is key to successful outcomes.
