[Segmentary dysplasia of the perivesical portion of the ureter]
Abstract:
Four variants of segmentary dysplasia in paravesical ureter are described: segmentary aplasia, segmentary atresia, segmentary hypoplasia, fibrous block. Segmentary dysplasia manifests in the absence of muscular layer in the wall of paravesicular ureter. In fibrous block the layer is replaced by embryonal collagen fibers. These anomalies cause ureteral obstruction and ureterohydronephrosis. 72 operative interventions were performed. Reoperations were made in such complications as vesicoureteral reflux, stenosis of ureterocystoanastomosis. It is necessary to differentiate between ectopy of the ureteral ostium, ureterocele and ureteral dysplasia in the form of segmentary hypoplasia and/or fibrous block causing the obstruction in the paravesicular ureter.

Urinary Bladder
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...
Urethra
The anatomy of the urethra differs between males and females. In females, the urethra is short, measuring about 3–4 cm in length, and opens anterior to the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer and passes through the penis, serving dual purposes: expelling urine and ejaculating semen. The male urethra is...
