Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

655
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

298
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...

Ureters01:22

Ureters

469
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...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Urinary bladder tamponade is a critical urological emergency demanding immediate diagnosis and treatment.
  • It presents as a painful bladder filling with blood clots, often stemming from gross hematuria.

Observation:

  • This condition presents as a painful bladder filling with blood clots, often linked to gross hematuria.
  • Key diagnostic tools include patient history, physical examination, and ultrasound (sonography).

Findings:

  • The primary treatment involves rapid insertion of a large-bore (≥20 French) flushing catheter for manual clot evacuation.
  • Transurethral catheterization with manual evacuation is the cornerstone of initial therapy.

Implications:

  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent complications.
  • If initial measures fail, endoscopic evacuation, sectio alta, or radical cystectomy are alternative therapeutic options.
