Ureters01:22

Ureters

2.2K
The ureters are retroperitoneal tubes located on either side of the vertebral column. They are responsible for transporting urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. These tubes have thick walls and are approximately 25-30 cm long. Their diameter is around 10 mm at the renal pelvis, gradually narrowing to 1 mm as the ureter obliquely enters the posterior bladder wall through the ureteric orifices. The shape of these orifices is slit-like, which helps to prevent urine backflow toward the...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

6.0K
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

AssessmentSubjective Data: Obtain a detailed health history, including any recent or chronic urinary tract infections, periods of immobilization, previous episodes of renal calculi, and medical conditions such as gout, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or hyperparathyroidism. Review the medication history for drugs that may influence stone formation, including allopurinol, analgesics, loop diuretics, or thiazide diuretics. Document the use of long-term indwelling catheters and any past surgical...

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

776
Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Diseases of urachal remnants are uncommon pathologies.
  • These conditions typically manifest at the urachal remnant-bladder dome junction.
  • Mucinous adenocarcinomas are the most frequent malignancy in this location.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old female patient presented with a three-year history of macroscopic hematuria.
  • The patient was undergoing follow-up for persistent hematuria.
  • Diagnostic imaging included ultrasonography and computed tomography.

Findings:

  • The abstract does not specify the exact findings from ultrasonography and computed tomography.
  • However, the clinical presentation suggests a potential urachal remnant malignancy.

Implications:

  • Early detection and diagnosis of urachal remnant diseases are crucial.
  • Imaging modalities like ultrasonography and CT play a vital role in diagnosis.
  • Understanding the clinical presentation aids in timely intervention for rare urachal pathologies.
