14
Q
A

Bladder Ears

This is not a diverticulum. Instead, it’s transient lateral protrusion of the bladder into the inguinal canal.

Smooth walls, and usually wide necks can help distinguish them from diverticula.

27
Q

When I say Adenocarcinoma of the Bladder,

A

you say Urachus

28
Q

associated with an increased risk of adenocarcinoma.

A

Bladder Exstrophy

29
Q

Most common benign bladder tumor

A

Leiomyoma (Bladder fibroid)

30
Q

“urinary hesitancy” or “dribbling” =

A

Leiomyoma

31
Q

This isn’t a bladder surgery but rather a surgical “complication” from a c-section.

A

Bladder flap hematoma

32
Q
A

Bladder flap hematoma

blood (hematoma) that drapes over the top and back of the bladder after a c-section performed with the common technique of a lower uterine incision.

33
Q

The general idea is that a piece of bowel is made into either a conduit or reservoir, and then the ureters are attached to it.

A

Diversion Surgery

34
Q

the most common early complication of diversion surgery

A

Adynamic ileus

35
Q

Early complications of Diversion Surgery

A

Alteration in bowel function
Urinary Leakage
Fistula

36
Q

Late complications (>30 days) of Diversion Surgery

A

Urinary infection
Stones
Parastomal Herniation
Urinary Stricture
Tumor recurrence

37
Q

Which side is the urinary stricture more common?

A

The left side, secondary to angulation

38
Q
A

Psoas Hitch

The “hitched” side has an upward projection towards the psoas muscle.

39
Q

This procedure is done in the situation where you have had an injury or pathology (stricture, cancer, etc…) involving a long segment of the distal ureter

A

Psoas Hitch

40
Q

stretch the ipsilateral portion of the bladder towards the short ureter and sew it (“hitch it”) to the psoas muscle.

A

Psoas Hitch

you stretched the bladder to bridge the gap.

41
Q

Why is psoas hitch done?

A

Used for people with long segment distal ureter injury / disease

42
Q

Gas forming organism in the wall of the bladder.

A

Emphysematous Cystitis

Common in diabetics

E. COli - most common

43
Q
A

Bladder tuberculosis

“thimble” bladder

calcifications might be present

44
Q
A

Bladder schistosoma = Squamous cell Ca

45
Q

Bladder fistula occurs in 3 conditions:

A
  1. Diverticulitis
  2. Crohns
  3. Cancer
46
Q

Colovesical fistula =

A

Diverticular disease

47
Q

Ileovesical fistula =

A

Crohns

48
Q

Rectovesical Fistula =

A

Neoplasm or Trauma

49
Q
A

Neurogenic bladder

“pine cone bladder”

trabeculated

50
Q

2 flavors of Neurogenic bladder

A

a. small contracted bladder

b. atonic large bladder

51
Q

acquired bladder diverticula is mainly from

A

Outlet obstruction (PGE)

Most common at the UVJ = stasis = bladder CA, stones and infection

52
Q

Bladder stones can be from

A
  1. from kidney
  2. develop secondary to stasis (outlet obstruction) or neurogenic bladder

RIsk factor for TCC and SCC

53
Q

“PearShapedBladder” is from

A
  1. Pelvic lipomatosis
  2. HEmatoma
54
Q

gold standard in bladder trauma

A

Cystography - Fluoro or CT

55
Q

Inadequate bladder distension in Cystography =

A

loss of sensitivity

56
Q

Cystography in bladder tauma - bladder must be distended with _ ml of diluted water soluble contrast

A

300-400 ml

57
Q

Best test for extra vs intra peritoneal ruptur in bladder trauma

A

CT cystography (cotntrast distending bladder) - 300-400 ml

58
Q

More common bladder ruprue

A

Extraperitoneal (89-90%) - pelvic fracture

59
Q

If there is a pelvic fracture, then the chance of a bladder rupture

A

10%

60
Q

If there is a bladder rupture, there is almost always a

A

pelvic fracture

61
Q
A

Bladder ruprue

“Molar tooh appearance”

Contrast from the Bladder filling the Prevesicle Space (Rezius)

62
Q

A direct blow to a full bladder, basically pops the balloon and blows the top off (bladder dome is the weakest part).

A

Intraperitoneal bladder rupture

the dude will have contrast outlining bowel loops and in the paracolic gutters. This requires surgery.

63
Q

“Pseudo Azotemia” (Pseudo Renal Failure) =

A

bladder rupture = creatinine absorbed via peritoneal lining = elevate creatinine = making it seem like the patient is in acute renla failure. kidneys are normal
