[Morphological changes in the the wall of a bladder formed from the rectum]
Abstract:
At the Donetsk Regional Antitumour Centre different techniques have been developed for formation of artificial urinary bladder from rectum. A particular feature of the techniques employed as compared to the generally known ones is a mode of mobilization of sigmoid colon as well as procedures for grafting ureters concomitantly with suturing of rectal stump, with those ureters being placed in the retroperitoneal space. Of the 96 operated patients, 41 underwent morphologic examination of the artificial urinary bladder wall and mucosa one day to 30 years after surgery. The studies made showed that rectal mucosa underwent marked atrophic changes because of a new resection performed. But even 30 years after the operation the atrophic mucosa still has its morphologic signs.

The innermost mucosa layer comprises simple columnar epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae. This layer is primarily populated with absorptive cells, tasked with water absorption, and goblet cells, responsible for secreting mucus to...

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...
