Q

Cystectomy with Creation of Ileal Conduit

A
  • A cystectomy is surgery to remove the bladder.
    • In men, the bladder, prostate, seminal vesicles and lymph nodes are removed.
    • In women, the bladder and lymph nodes are removed. The ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina and urethra may also be removed.
  • An ileal conduit, also called a urostomy, is a way to redirect urine to drain through a small opening in the abdomen called a “stoma” During surgery, a short piece of the small intestine (ileum) is connected to the ureters. One end of the conduit will be closed and the other end will be pulled through the skin of your abdomen to make the new stoma.

Q

The Urinary system consists of:

A
  • Kidneys
  • renal pelvis
  • ureters
  • urinary bladder
  • urethra
  • (all retroperitoneum)
59
Q

The main funtion of the urinary system is:

A
  • Producing urine
  • getting rid of nitrogenous wastes
60
Q

renal function requires a…

A
  • low-pressure, obstruction free transport and storage system from the renal pelvis to the urethral meatus
  • basic plumbing system
61
Q

Adrenal Glands

A
  • they are NOT a part of the urinary system (they are part of the endocrine system)
  • pathological conditions: addison’s disease and cushing’s syndrome- remove adrenal gland
62
Q

Kidney

A
  • retroperitoneal
  • receivs some protection from the lower part of the rib cage
63
Q

Hilus/ Hilum

A
  • indention or cleft on the medial side of each kidney where the major structures enter and exit the kidney
    • renal artery- comes off the aorta-coming
    • renal vein- drains into the inferior vena cava –leaving
    • the ureter- leaving
64
Q

external kidney

A
  • covered by 3 separate layers
    • renal capsule- fibrous, transparent innermost layer
    • adipose tissue- protective padding, helps hold kidney in place-mid layer
    • renal fascia (Gerota’s fascia)- fibro-ereolar, connective tissue, anchors kidneys to surrounding organs- outermost layer
65
Q

Internal kidney

A
  • renal pelvis- first opening
  • renal medulla- branches
  • renal cortex- outermost portion
    • most important area because nephrons live here!
      • nephrons= blood-processing and urine producing basic units
66
Q

Ureter

A
  • travels down to the bladder, taking a medial turn and coursing obliquley through the posteriot bladder wall. this prevents backflow of urine
  • as urine enters the renal pelvis, peristaltic waves are initiated, forcing urine into the ureter and then into the bladder
67
Q

3 areas of potential stricture of ureter due to anatomy

A
  • uretero-pelvic junction (UJP)- (renal pelvis& ureter)
  • crossing over and under the iliac ateries
  • uretero-vesicular junction (UVJ)- vesicle= bladder

(common sites for lodging stones)

68
Q

Bladder

(vesicle, cyst-)

A
  • muscular sac located retroperitoneally, just posterior to the symphysis pubis
  • interior bladder has 2 openings for ureters and 1 opening for the urethra
  • Trigone- triangular region outlined by the three interior openings, also a pooling area for urine, increasing chance of bladder infection
69
Q

Urinary Bladder is composed of 4 layers

A
  1. fibrous adventita- outerlayer
  2. muscular layer= Detrusor muscle- very important in process of urination (micturation)
    1. have nerve endings goes to brain and goes to the external sphincter where you have control
  3. connective tissue mucosa-middle layer
  4. mucosa of transitional epithelium- inner layer
70
Q

Urethra has 2 sphincters

A
  • internal urethral sphincter (involuntary)
  • external urethral sphincter (voluntary)
71
Q

Urethra femal vs. male

A
  • Female: shorter, more likely to have bladder infections
  • Male: has 3 areas
    • prostatic urethra- 2.5 cm long
    • membranous urethra- 2 cm long
    • penile urethra- 15cm long (depends)
  • also serves a double funtion- carrying semen and urine out of body
72
Q

Types of renal failure

A
  • Acute
  • Chronic
73
Q

Acute renal failure

A
  • is reversible
    • pre-renal- hypovolemia, dehydration, hemmorrhage, burns, heart failure, septicemia
    • intra-renal- glomerulonephritis, renal ischemia, pylonephritis, nephro-toxic agents
    • post-renal- ureteral obstruction, tumors, bladder outlet syndrome
74
Q

Chronic renal failure

A
  • non-reversible
  • progressive
  • end-stage renal failure= 10-15% of normal glomerular fultration rate (GFR) left
  • just need one working kidney though!
75
Q

Pathologies that can cause renal failure

A
  • Glomerulonephritis
  • Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis
  • Mercury poisoning
  • Hydronephrosis
  • Pylonephritis
76

  • men affected more than women
77
Q

Types of Kidney stones

Which one is most common?

A
  • Calcium (oxalate or Phosphate)- most common, get them down south because of diet
  • Magnesium Ammonium Phospate (struvite or staghorn)
  • uric acid- not visible on x-ray
  • cystine
78
Q

How do you deal with a kidney stone specimen?

A
  • always in a dry container
79
Q

Renal Colic

A
  • the colicky pain accompanying urinary obstruction due to stones- excrutiating!!!!
80
Q

The male reproductive system consists of

A
  • 2 testes
  • 2 epididymides
  • 2 vas deferens
  • 2 seminal vesicles
  • 2 ejaculatory ducts
  • 2 bulbourethral glands (cowpers glands)
  • 1 prostate gland
  • 1 urethra
  • 1 penis
81
Q

Scrotum

A
  • pouch of skin and superficial fascia.
  • superficial fascia forms an incomplete septum, dividing the scrotum into right and left halves, each housing a testicle (testes)
  • changes in scrotal surface help maintain a fairly constant intra-scotal temp.
82
Q

Cremaster muscle

A
  • of the scrotum
  • bands of skeletal muscle arising from the internal oblique muscle which elevates the scrotum in cold temps and lovers it in warmer temps
  • sperm need a specific temp
83
Q

Vas Deferens

A
  • (ductus deferens)
  • lies within the spermatic cord
  • spermatic cord also contains veins, arteries, lymphatics, nerves and surrounding connective tissue (cremaster muscle) which gives support to the testes
  • the end portion of each vas deferens is called the ejaculatory duct
84
Q

Seminal vesicles

A
  • ducts found, bilaterally, at the base of the bladder on the backside
  • these join with the vas deferend on the same side to form the ejaculatory duct
  • sperm and seminal fluid mix in the ejaculatory duct and enter the prostatic urethra during ejaculation
85
Q

Bulbo-urethral gland (Cowper’s gland)

A
  • secretes pre-ejaculate
  • has no sperm in it
  • urine is acidic, it preps the urethra for the sperm to make it more alkaline
86
Q

Penis

A
  • has 2 outer bodies called the right corpus cavernosum and left corpus cavernosum and an inner body, the copus spongiosum.
  • these tissue fill with blood during an erection
  • can have fractured penis
87
Q

Prostate gland

A
  • size of a walnut
  • 2 major regions
    • the peripheral zone and the central zone (aka intra-urethral lobe- right and left lateral). BPH-benign prostatic hypertrophy generally occurs in this area
    • prostate enlarges with age
  • lobes of the prostate secrete highly alkaline fluid
88
Q

Normal sperm count

A
  • 50-200 million per ml with 60-80% motility
