Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

2.0K
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...

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra

495
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...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

346
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...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

92
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...

Disorders of the Urinary System01:20

Disorders of the Urinary System

719
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...

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System II: Inspection and Palpation

385
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...

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Urology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Pelvic ring injuries often present with associated injuries.
  • Bladder injuries are known complications of pelvic fractures.
  • Chronic bladder incarceration is a rare sequela.

Observation:

  • A rare case of chronic bladder incarceration within a pelvic ring injury nonunion is presented.
  • This occurred after failed nonoperative management of the initial pelvic fracture.
  • The nonunion treatment was complicated by an incidental lymphoma diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Demonstrates a unique instance of long-term bladder entrapment in a nonunited pelvic fracture.
  • Highlights the complexity introduced by a concurrent, incidental lymphoma diagnosis during nonunion treatment.

Implications:

  • Underscores the importance of considering chronic complications in pelvic ring injuries.
  • Suggests the need for vigilance regarding unexpected comorbidities during complex fracture management.
  • Emphasizes the critical role of a multidisciplinary approach in managing intricate pelvic injuries and associated conditions.
