Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

2.7K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
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...

Disorders of the Urinary System

976
The urinary system is responsible for eliminating waste and excess fluids from the body. However, disorders of the urinary system can arise due to various reasons like infections, stress, age, congenital abnormalities, and lifestyle.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common urinary system disorders. They are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and can spread to the bladder resulting in cystitis. Pyelonephritis is the result of a UTI that has ascended to the level of the...

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

171
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

761
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...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Elderly patients, particularly those on anticoagulants like Coumadin, are susceptible to rectus sheath hematoma (RSH).
  • Comorbidities such as atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increase patient complexity.

Observation:

  • A 93-year-old woman presented with acute urinary retention.
  • Computed tomography (CT) revealed a grade 3 rectus sheath hematoma compressing the bladder outflow tract.

Findings:

  • The rectus sheath hematoma was the direct cause of urinary retention due to extrinsic compression.
  • Percutaneous drainage of the hematoma was performed as a minimally invasive treatment.

Implications:

  • Percutaneous drainage is a viable, conservative management option for rectus sheath hematoma causing urinary retention in elderly, high-risk surgical patients.
  • This approach effectively relieved symptoms and avoided the need for surgical intervention, highlighting its utility in selected cases.
