Abstract:
A surgical technique of partial detrusorectomy (autoaugmentation) for creation of a diverticular bulge of the dog bladder is described. The method is designed to serve as a bladder augmentation without using bowel. We describe the technique, results with dogs and its clinical application. Partial detrusorectomy appears to function as an autoaugmentation that can be performed reliably in dogs, offers potential advantages over bowel segments, and is a potential alternative to enterocystoplasty in selected patients.

Urinary Bladder
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...
The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating urine...
