The Objectives :-

3. The site:-
At birth: it lies in the abdominal cavity
(Pelviabdominal organ)
in adult: it occupies the anterior part of the pelvis
(Pelvic organ), when it is full it expand upward into
the abdominal cavity.
4 ANGLES:
Apix :- attached to median umbilical ligament.
lf remains patent, it may cause: Urachal (sinus, fistula,
cyst) or Congenital diverticulum
Neck:- Lying on prostate (male) or pelvic fascia
(femal), it gives the urethra Surrounded by smooth
muscle fibers constituting the sphincter vesicae
Two posterosuperior angles:- receiving the 2 ureters
1-Anatomy of U.B .

4. Peritoneal covering :-
Male: superior surface and upper part of base .but in Female:
superior surface ONLY.
Relation :-
1. Anterior: pubic bone ,puboprostatic ligment in male and
pubovesical ligment in femal
They fix bladder in pelvis and They are present in Cave Of
Retzius (retropubic space)
2. Inferolateral surface: pubis, retropubic fat, obturator
internus & levator ani muscles.
3-Supperior surface:- ilum and segmoid colon in male .
Uterus and retrovesical pouch in femal.
4. Posterior surface: in mle :two seminal veiscles ,two vasa
defferintia and rectum .In femal:cervix and vagina

8. Cavity of the urinary bladder
-Trigone:- Triangular part of the base between the 2 openings of the
ureter & the opening of the urethra
Gharacters of trigone:
1.No rugae 2.Pink (rich blood supply) 3.No submucosa
4. lt is richly supplied by nerves so(lt is more sensitive to pain).
-Ureteric orificer: - They lie at the posterolateral angles of the
trigone - The 2 orifices are separated from each other by a transverse
ridge called the interureteric crest
-Uvula of the bladder: - lt is produced by the median lobe of the
prostate.
-lnternal urethral orifice:
- lt is placed at the lowest part of the bladder.
- lt is surrounded by an involuntary non-striated muscle forming the
sphincter vesicae.
-Intramural part of the ureter - The lowermost part of the ureter
passes obliquely through the wall ofthe bladder

9. Blood supply:-
*Artries: superior and inf.vesical artery which come from
ant.devision of Internal iliac artery .
*Vesical veins:the lateral plexuses, the prostatovesical
plexus (pudendal plexus, Santorini) empty into the internal
iliac veins.
Lymph node:-
Perivesical LN , internal & external iliac LNs , common iliac
LNs, para-aortic LNs.
Nenrve Supply :-
Sympathetic ;T11,12 and L1,2
Parasympathetic; S2,3,4

13. 2-Emberyologcal developmwent
Hindgut -------cloaca (endoderm in origin)
Allantois(endoderm origin)
Urorectal septum (mesoderm origin) which
divid the cloaca into two parts
a) primitive urogenital sinus anteriorly
b) anorectal canal posteriorly

14. Mesonephric ducts connect to the primitive urogenital sinus
dividing it into upper part (vasicourethral canal) and the lower
part (definitive urogenital sinus)
U.B formed of 1- Vasicourethral canal--------------major body of UB
2- Allantois(proximal part)-----------Median umbilical
ligament and Apex of BU
3- Mesonephric ducts-----------------trigon of UB

16. Situations in Which the
Bladder May Be Injured
1-(TURBT)
2- Cystoscopic bladder
biopsy
3-(TURP)
4-Cystolitholapaxy
5-Penetrating trauma to
the lower abdomen or
back
6-Caesarean section,
especially as an
emergency
7-Blunt pelvic trauma—in
association with pelvic
fracture or
9-Total hip replacement
(very rare)
10-Rapid deceleration
injury—seat belt injury with
full bladder in the absence
of a pelvic fracture
11-Spontaneous rupture
after bladder augmentation
3-Etiology of the U.B Trauma.

17. 4-Types of the U.B Trauma.
10% of male and 5% of female pelvic fractures are associated
with a bladder injury.
1-Blunt Trauma
2-perforation (penetrating)
1- Intraperitoneal perforation 30%: the
peritoneum overlying the bladder is breached,
allowing urine to escape into the peritoneal
cavity.
2-Extraperitoneal perforation 60%:
the peritoneum is intact and urine escapes into
the space around the bladder, but not into the
peritoneal cavity.
3-Compained intra and extraperitoneal 10%.

18. *Grad 1 : contusion, intramural hematoma ,or partial thickness
laceration
*Grad 2 : Extra-peritoneal bladder wall laceration less than 2 cm
*Grad 3: Extra-peritoneal bladder wall laceration more than 2 cm or
intra-peritoneal bladder wall laceration less than 2 cm
*Grad4 : intra-peritoneal bladder wall laceration more than 2 cm
*Grad 5 : intra- or extra-peritoneal bladder wall laceration extending
into bladder neck or ureteral orifices (trigon)
Classification of U.B Trauma

20. 5- Clinical Signs and Symptoms.
- Blood at meatus—in 40–50% of patients (no blood
at meatus in 50–60%).
- Gross haematuria.
- Inability to pass urine.
- Perineal or scrotal bruising.
- ‘High riding’ prostate.
- Inability to pass a urethral catheter.

21. 6- Radiographic Imaging.
Intra peritoneal rupture
Sunburst appearance

22. *An intraperitoneal
bladder perforation
following a TURBT,
*As demonstrated on a
cystogram
(anteroposterior view).

23. Extraperitoneal
Rupture
Flame-shaped
Tear drop deformity

24. 7- Management
Extraperitoneal rupture :
bladder drainage with a urethral catheter for 2 weeks
followed by a cystogram to confirm the perforation has healed.
Indications for surgical repair of extraperitoneal bladder perforation:
- If you have opened the bladder to place a suprapubic catheter for a
urethral injury or involvement of bladder neck.
- A bone spike protruding into the bladder on CT.
- Associated rectal or vaginal perforation.
- Where the patient is undergoing open fixation of a pelvic fracture.
Intraperitoneal rupture : usually repaired surgically to prevent
complications from leakage of urine into the peritoneal cavity.

25. 8-COMPLICATIONS OF BLADDER INJURY
*Cystitis & pyelonephritis
*Peritonitis
*Pelvic abscess
*Vesiculovaginal or retrovesical fistula
*Paralytic ileus
*Haemorrhage
*Mortality is 100% without surgical
intervention
