Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra

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...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

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...

Area of Science:

Urology
Surgical Innovation
Male Reproductive Health

Background:

Primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) significantly impacts quality of life in young men.
Traditional bladder neck surgeries can compromise ejaculatory function.
There is a need for effective treatments that preserve sexual health.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the clinical and ejaculatory outcomes of ejaculation-sparing bladder neck incision (ESBNI).
To assess the efficacy of ESBNI in young men (≤40 years) with videourodynamically confirmed PBNO.

Main Methods:

Retrospective cohort study with prospective outcome assessment.
ESBNI performed at the 6 o'clock position.
Ejaculatory function assessed using the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire-Ejaculatory Dysfunction Short Form (MSHQ-EjD-SF).

Main Results:

100% of patients preserved antegrade ejaculation; 90% had normal ejaculatory function.
Median postoperative maximum flow rate (Qmax) was 17 mL/s, with 67% achieving normal flow.
18/19 catheter-dependent patients became catheter-free; minimal complications reported.

Conclusions:

ESBNI is a safe and effective surgical option for young men with PBNO.
The procedure provides meaningful improvement in urinary flow.
Reliable preservation of ejaculation is a key benefit of ESBNI.
