Urinary Bladder Flashcards

1
Q

Females: UB

A

Posterior: related to anterior vaginal wall

Anterior: related to pubic symphysis & retropubic space of Retzius

  • 2 MEDIAL UMBILICAL LIGAMENTS (remnant of R & L umbilical artery)
  • 2 LATERAL UMBILICAL LIGAMENTS (R & L inferior epigastric artery & vein)

Neck: related to Urogenital diaphragm

Q

Locations

A

Infants: within the ABDOMINAL CAVITY

Adults: within the PELVIC INLET, as it fills ➡️ rides out of the MINOR PELVIS, above PELVIC INLET, as high as UMBILICUS

Suprapubic cystostomy: skin ➡️ superficial fascia (CAMPER & SCARPA) ➡️ linea alba ➡️ transversalis fascia ➡️ extraperitoneal fat ➡️ bladder wall without entering the peritoneal cavity to remove the urine from the bladder

Q

Rupture of urethra below the Urogenital diaphragm

A

Most common type

Straddle injury

Result: extraperitoneal extravasation of urine within superficial perineal space & extends into scrotal, penile & abdominal wall

Q

Rupture of penile urethra

A

Crushing injury to penis

Result: extraperitoneal extravasation of urine beneath the deep fascia of Buck

If Buck fascia is not torn –> extravasation is confined in the penis

If torn –> extravasation within superficial perineal space
