irritation of the foreskin, the inability of the foreskin to be retracted, an accumulation of smegma under the prepuce
What suture would be appropriate in an adult circumcision
Chromic suture(absorbable)

The urethra is dilated before a cystoscope with
Van Buren sounds
Following TURP, the main reason for inserting a 30cc 3-way Foley catheter is
to act as a tamponade
Whenever electrosurgical instruments are used, the irrigation fluid must be
nonelectrolytic
may be used during observation of the bladder and retrograde pyelography
Sterile water
A hypotonic solution is one that will not cause lysis of the cells

True

might delay the body’s natural clotting mechanism
During cystoscopic procedures, the grounding plate may be placed
on the patient’s thigh or waist
The procedure for kidney transplant requires skills in
GU and abdominal and Vascular surgery
Which incision is utilized during simple nephrectomy
A simple flank incision
a pyeloplasty may be necessary when
a stone is lodged in the ureteropelvic junction
Urethral meatoplasty
performed to relieve a congenital or an acquired stenosis or stricture at the external meatus
The most common nonelectrolytic solutions used during resection
3% sorbitol or glycine
ureterostomy
Opening the ureter for continued drainage into another part of the body
ureteroureterostomy
Segmented resection of a diseased portion of the ureter with reconstruction in the continuity of the ureter
ureterectomy
Complete removal of the ureter; includes the kidney and a portion of the bladder cuff
ureteroenterostomy
Diversion of the ureter into a segment of the ileum or sigmoid colon
cutaneous procedure
Bypassing the flow of urine from the kidney, through the ureter, away from the bladder, and out the skin of the abdomen
hydrocele
A fluid-filled sac that develops over the testicle
vasectomy
Permanent sterilization
vasovasotomy
Surgical re-anastomosis of the vas deferens
hypospadias
Congenital condition where the urethra opens inferior to its normal location. Normally seen in males where the urethra opens on the undersurface of the penis
varicocelectomy
High ligation of the gonadal veins
epispadias
Congenital abnormality where the opening of the urethra is on the dorsum of the penis
The kidneys are retroperitoneal

True

The kidneys
are encased in a layer of fat, lie just above the waistline, help maintain proper blood pH
The cortex
outer part of the kidney
The medulla
the inner part of the kidney
The pyramids
the triangular divisions of the medulla
The pelvis of the kidney
an expansion of the upper end of the ureter
The nephron is composed of
renal corpuscle, renal tubules
Bowman’s capsule
the cup-shaped top part of the nephron
The glomerulus

The distal convoluted tubules are
the part of the nephron between the loop of Henle and the collecting tube
