Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

791
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...

Ureters01:22

Ureters

517
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...

Disorders of the Urinary System01:20

Disorders of the Urinary System

322
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...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital anomaly with significant surgical challenges.
  • Complex genitourinary duplications, including duplicate bladders, are exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A female neonate presented with a rare exstrophy variant: duplicate vagina, uterus, and two complete bladders.
  • The condition included a patch of exstrophic or ectopic mucosa.

Findings:

  • Surgical management was performed for this complex congenital anomaly.
  • Synchronous urodynamic studies of both bladders demonstrated complete urinary continence.

Implications:

  • This case presents a unique instance of a duplicate bladder exstrophy variant with successful urinary continence.
  • The findings contribute to understanding the surgical possibilities and functional outcomes in rare genitourinary malformations.
