urologic procedures Flashcards
what makes up the upper urinary tract
ureter and kidney
what makes up the lower urinary tract
bladder, prostate, urethra
how does CP nerve injury happen
compression of fibular head on leg brace
how does saphenous nerve injury happen
compression of medial tibial condyle
how does sciatic nerve injury happen
excessive external rotation of legs, excessive extension of the knees
what spinal level is needed for cystoscopy
T9-T10/ T8 for ureters
indications for cysto
retrograde ureteral cauterization, to visualize the ureter and kidney, to place stents, to drain obstructions, to remove renal calculi
TURBT stands for
transurethral resection of the bladder
TURBT indicated for
resection and electrodesication are used to treat superficial bladder tumors
how does the risk of perforation increase when doing a TURBT under regional
the bladder becomes atonic and may become thinner when distended, increasing the risk of perf
how does bladder perf present in the awake patient
shoulder discomfort, nausea, vom, suprapubic fullness, abd spasm and pain
bladder perf consequences
blood loss, hypothermia, bacteremia, spreading high grade malignancy into the peritoneum
bladder perf cv signs
htn and tachycardia are early signs, followed by severe hypotension
bladder perf : cool irrigation causes vaso___, give what to decrease the risk
constriction, give warm fluids
bladder perf causes what clotting abnormality
DIC triggered by release of prostatic thrombogenic substances - esp with cancer of prostate.
what spinal level do you need for TURP
T10
obturator reflex
bladder rupture/ injury secondary to adductor muscle contraction from obturator nerve stimulation from electrocautery
blood loss estimation in TURP
2-5ml of resection time
early signs of TURP
hypertension and tachycardia - think fluid overload
