Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

2.4K
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...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

521
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...

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...

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System II: Inspection and Palpation

477
The nursing assessment of the genitourinary (GU) system involves a systematic inspection and palpation to identify abnormalities in the kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures.InspectionMouth: Inspect for signs of kidney dysfunction, such as stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth) and ammonia breath, which may occur in advanced kidney disease due to the buildup of urea, breaking down into ammonia.Skin: Check for pallor, which could indicate anemia caused by kidney disease. Look for...

Disorders of the Urinary System01:20

Disorders of the Urinary System

831
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...

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra

655
The lower urinary system consists of the urinary bladder and urethra, which are essential in storing and expelling urine from the body. Together with the internal and external sphincters, these structures work together to regulate urination effectively.Anatomy of the BladderThe urinary bladder is a muscular, stretchable organ behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. In females, the bladder is positioned anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus, while in males, it is located...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • An 81-year-old male presented with chronic abdominal pain and bloody stools.
  • Initial imaging suggested a large abdominal cyst and rectal cancer, with suspected metastasis.

Observation:

  • Computed tomography revealed a large abdominal cyst, rectal wall thickening, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • Colonoscopy confirmed colon cancer, while MRI and cystography identified a large bladder diverticulum, not metastasis.

Findings:

  • The patient developed severe bacteremia pre-operatively.
  • A complex surgery combining urology and gastrointestinal procedures was performed, including bladder diverticulectomy and rectal cancer resection.
  • The patient experienced a good post-operative recovery.

Implications:

  • Large bladder diverticula can present as abdominal masses, causing diagnostic challenges.
  • Multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing complex gastrointestinal and urological conditions.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is vital for effective management of abdominal masses and associated malignancies.
