bladder eversion
bladder eversion
suture during penectomy to secure penile stump to skin and crush CCP
Ruptured bladder
Relation of bladder to peritoneum:
apex of bladder is covered with peritoneum but the remainder is retroperitoneal
Muscle layers of the bladder:
outer longitudinal and oblique layer, inner transverse and circular layer which becomes external to the outer layer dorsally
Innervation of the bladder:
sympathetic, parasympathetic, cholinergic, somatic
Sympathetic innervation of the bladder:
hypogastric nerve with preganglionic fibers from spinal segments L1 to L4 in the caudal mesenteric ganglion and post-ganglionic beta 2 receptors (bladder) or alpha 1 and 2 (urethra)
Parasympathetic innervation of the bladder:
sacral spinal segments forming pelvic nerve
Somatic innervation of the bladder:
pudendal nerve branch innervation of the urethralis muscle sphincter
Innervation of the detrusor muscle:
parasympathetic pelvic nerve and beta 2 sympathetic post-ganglionic fibers
Dominant nerve activity during filling or storage of the bladder:
sympathetic (stimulation of beta 2 sympathetic receptors, inhibition of parasympathetic pelvic nerve)
Most common signalment for uroperitoneum in the foal:
colt shortly after birth
Most common size and location of bladder tears:
2-5 cm in length on dorsal surface
Clinical pathology association with uroperitoneum:

How is hyperkalemia addressed with uroperitoneum?
Administration of Ca gluconate followed by non-K containing fluid (0.9% saline) with dextrose
Effects of Ca and dextrose treatment on uroperitoneum:
Ca antagonized K, dextrose causes release of insulin which increase Na/K ATPase pump to move K intracellular

Medical management of patent urachus:
dip navel with chlorhexadine solution 2-4 times a day, broad spectrum antibiotics
Why is iodine not indicated for management of patent urachus?
Has been associated with rapid dissication and irritation of tissues and development of acquired patent urachus
When is surgical management of patent urachus indicated?
No response to medical management in 5-7 days, ultrasound reveals multiple abnormalities of the umbilicus
Composition of uroliths:
predominately calcium carbonate, type 2 contain phosphate as well
Types of uroliths:
1: yellow-green speculated easily fragmented 2: gray-white smooth resistant to fragmentation
What is struvite?
MgNH3PO4
Surgical approach to urolithiasis:
cystotomy through ventral midline, parainguinal, laparoscopic, pararectal, perineal urethrostomy approaches or lithotripsy
Medical management of urolithiasis:
dietary changes (avoid legumes, avoid Ca containing feeds or supplements)
What is sabulous urolithiasis?
Accumulation of large amount of urine sediment secondary to bladder paralysis
How do clinical signs of sabulous urolithiasis differ from urolithiasis?
In sabulous urolithiasis the bladder is usually distended and the sabulous mass can be indented on rectal palpation after the bladder is drained
Types of bladder displacement:
extrusion (eventration) through a tear in the vagina or eversion (prolapse)
Cause of bladder extrusion:
perineal lacerations
Cause of bladder eversion:
excessive straining
Treatment of bladder displacement:
surgical resection of affected portion of bladder
Most common bladder neoplasia:
squamous cell carcinoma
Indications for cystorrhaphy:
bladder disruption (tear, rupture)
Approach to cystorrhaphy in foal:
oversew umbilicus, fusiform incision around umbilicus
Approach to cystorrhaphy in adult:
mare: caudal midline incision from 2-3 cm cranial to umbilicus for 15-18 cm, prolapse bladder through vaginal incision, urethrotomy or spincterotomy; male: starts 2-3 cm cranial to umbilicus then directed 2-4 cm paramedian at the prepuce
Describe cystorrhaphy:
bladder exposed by maintaining traction on urachus, inspect urachus for tears, identify bladder tear, excise wound margins, close tear in 2 layers (either continuous oversewn with inverting or double inverting) with absorbable suture that does not penetrate the mucosa, resect urachus
When is cystoplasty indicated?
Patent or persistent urachus or option in foal with bladder or urachal tear
Describe cystoplasty:
oversew umbilicus, elliptical incision around umbilicus, umbilicus and urachus dissected free of body wall, umbilical vein double ligated and resected as far cranially as needed to removal all diseased vein, bladder exposed with traction on urachus, stay sutues placed in ventrolateral bladder, umbilical arteries double ligated and resected at the level of the urachal resection, clamp placed across urachus, transverse incision made across apex of bladder, traction applied to stay sutures, bladder closed in 2 layers with absorbable suture without penetration of bladder mucosa
Indications for cystotomy:
urolithiasis
What should be avoided with ventral approach to bladder in adult males?
Transection of superficial caudal epigastric and external pudendal during approach
Describe cystotomy:
bladder exteriorized through incision, isolated from abdomen with gauze packing, incision made in ventral bladder over urolith, cystotomy closed in 2 layers
Which layer of the abdominal closure is more critical in males?
External rectus
Benefits of parainguinal approach to cystotomy:
eliminates reflection of prepuce and penis, eliminates encountering large vessels during ventral/ parapreputial approach
Indications for laparoscopic approach to bladder:
cystorrhexis, persistent urachus, umbilical infection, urolithiasis
Complications of laparoscopic approach to bladder:
hemorrhage, obstructed visualization by falciform fat, need to be proficient with intra/ extracorporeal suturing or laparoscopic suturing devices
What is lithotripsy?
Fragmentation of urinary calculus with pulse dye laser (504nm) or Ho:YAG laser (2100nm)
How does the pulse dye laser cause fragmentation?
Generation of acoustic wave that is greater than the tensile strength of the urolith
How does the Ho:YAG laser cause fragmentation?
Photothermal and photoacoustic waves
Disadvantages of lithotripsy:
availability of laser, long surgery times, may not fragment urolith
