Ureters01:22

Ureters

403
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 System

266
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...

Nephrons01:10

Nephrons

2.2K
The kidneys are intricate organs with millions of working units known as nephrons. Each nephron features two major structures: the renal corpuscle, which facilitates blood plasma filtration, and the renal tubule, which handles the glomerular filtrate. Blood supply is directly linked to the nephrons. The renal corpuscle consists of the glomerulus, a capillary network, and the Bowman's capsule, a double-walled epithelial structure that encases the glomerulus. The filtering of blood plasma...

Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

487
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Urology
    • Comparative Pathology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Recurrent purulent vulvar discharge in female dogs can stem from various urogenital anomalies.
    • Ureteral duplication is a congenital condition that may present with subtle or severe clinical signs.

    Observation:

    • A 7-year-old French bulldog presented with persistent purulent vulvar discharge post-pyometra treatment.
    • Diagnostic imaging (ultrasonography, CT) and cystoscopy/vaginoscopy confirmed ureteral duplication.

    Findings:

    • Medical management failed to resolve the discharge, necessitating surgical intervention.
    • Resection of the duplicated ureter, followed by omentalization of the stumps, was performed.
    • Histopathology confirmed the presence of the duplicated ureter.

    Implications:

    • Ureteral duplication should be considered in the differential diagnosis for dogs with unexplained vulvar discharge.
    • Surgical correction of ureteral duplication can lead to complete clinical resolution.
    • This case emphasizes the value of tailored surgical approaches for congenital urinary tract anomalies in veterinary medicine.
