CHAPTER 20

Genitourinary Surgery


2

Anatomy

• Suprarenal glands• Kidneys• Ureters• Urinary bladder


3

Supradrenal Glands

• On top of kidneys• Endocrine glands• Cortex

– Secretes steroid- type hormones

– Control fluid and electrolyte balance

• Medulla– Secretes epinephrine– Norepinephrine


4

Kidneys• Differ in location and size

– Left is normally larger• Nephron is the functional unit

– Renal corpuscle– Renal tubule

• Filters blood• Excrete waste


5

Ureters• Conduct urine from the kidney to the

bladder• Muscular tubes• Small lumen• “S” shaped


6

Kidney/Ureter


7

Urinary Bladder

• Collects urine• Lies in the anterior half of the pelvis• Male

– Lies on and is attached to the base of the prostate gland

• Female– Lies on the pelvic diaphragm


8

Urinary Bladder• Trigone

– Ureteral openings– Urethral opening– Base of the bladder


9

Bladder Tumors• Present with hematuria• Single growth or multiple present• Benign (papillomas) occur in young adults• Malignant neoplasms usually occur in men

over 50• Early removal transurethrally


10

Urinary Calculi

• Small solid particles• Form in one or both kidneys• Travel through the urinary system• Partial or total obstruction


11

Urinary Calculi• Calculi symptoms

– Dysuria– Polyuria– Passage of small amounts of urine– Flank pain– Nausea and vomiting


12

Male Reproductive System• Penis• Testes• Ductus• Deferens• Seminal vesicles• Ejaculatory ducts• Prostate gland


13

Penis

• Superficial structure• Cylindrical masses of cavernous tissue

– Two corpora cavernosa • Dorsal

– Corpus spongiosum• Midline


14

Penis

• Glans penis• Prepuce

– Foreskin• Covers the glans penis


15

Male Urethra• Passes through the prostate gland• Divided into three parts

– Prostatic– Membranous– Spongy


16

Female Urethra• Only 4 cm long• Passes in front of the lower half of the

vagina• Skene’s glands provide lubrication


17

Testes• Paired• Lie in the scrotum• Tunica vaginalis covers most of the testis,

epididymis, and lower end of spermatic cord

• Seminiferous tubules• Epididymis

– Maturation site


18

Testis


19

Ductus Deferens• Arises from the epididymis• Also known as the “vas deferens”• Ascends through the inguinal canal• Delivers semen to the prostatic urethra


20

Prostate Gland• Accessory gland• Lobulated gland (50 lobules)• Secrete prostatic fluid


21

Pathology• Adrenal Glands

– Cushing’s syndrome• Overproduction of cortisol

– Addison’s disease• Complication of certain illnesses – TB and AIDS• Renal insufficiency


22

Pathology• Adrenal Glands

– Pheochromocytoma• Tumor affecting the medulla• Overproduction of adrenaline


23

Pathology• Urinary System

– Bladder tumors– Urinary calculi– Kidney disorders


24

Kidney Disorders• Polycystic Kidney Disease

– Occurs when the parenchyma of the kidney is replaced by multiple fluid filled benign cysts

– Autosomal dominant• Inherited• Symptomatic between the age of 30 and 40• 90% of PKD fall under this category


25

Kidney Disorders• Polycystic Kidney Disease

– Autosomal recessive• Inherited• Extremely rare• Affects young children

– Acquired • Develops in patients with long term kidney disease


26

Kidney Disorders• Diabetic Nephropathy

– Sclerosis– Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease– Diabetic glomerulosclerosis– Caused by uncontrolled diabetes mellitus


27

Kidney Disorders• End-Stage Renal

Disease (ESRD)– Kidney failure– Kidneys functioning

under 10%– Half the population

with ESRD is diabetic– Dialysis – Kidney transplant


28

Kidney Disorders• Renal Cell Carcinoma

– Adenocarcinoma– Most common type of kidney cancer– 8,000 deaths per year in the U.S.– Affects men twice as often– Usually appears between 50-60 years old– Directly linked to cigarette smoking


29

Kidney Disorders• Congenital Nephroblastoma

– Wilms’ tumor– Malignant– Occurs primarily in children between 3-4

years– Surgical removal is recommended– Followed by radiation and chemotherapy


30

Pathology Affecting the Male Reproductive System

• Phimosis• Hypospadias/Epispadias• Benign Prostatic

Hypertrophy (BPH)• Cancer• Cryptorchidism• Testicular Torsion


31

Diagnostic Procedures• History and physical• Hematology• Urinalysis• Regular X-ray• KUB (kidney, ureter, bladder)


32

Diagnostic Procedures• IVU• Retrograde urogram• MIBG• Biopsy• Endoscopy


33

Special Considerations• Transurethral procedures• Specially equipped room

– Built-in table– Radiographic equipment– Darkroom– Drainage system


34

Special Considerations• General instruments• Kidney instruments

– Rib instruments


35

Cystoscope

Flexible Cystoscope

Rigid Cystoscope


36

Flexible Ureteroscope


37

Incisional Options• Inguinal

– Access the scrotal contents of an adult or child

• Scrotal– Access scrotal contents

• Abdominal


38

Incisional Options• Gibson

– Extraperitoneal abdominal approach– Access the lower ureter

• Flank• Lumbar

– Adrenalectomy, renal biopsy, removal of low lying kidney


39

Common Procedures

• Nephrectomy• Adrenalectomy• Renal transplant• ESWL• Cystectomy


40

Common Procedures

• Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz (MMK)• Circumcision• Orchiopexy• TURP• Prostatectomy


41

Nephrectomy• Subtotal removal

– Upper or lower pole of the kidney• Total removal

– Simple • Small malignancies

– Chronic obstructive disorders– Benign tumors– Transplant


42

Open Cystotomy• Alternate method of catheterizing the

bladder for drainage• Percutaneous• Open• Acute urinary retention

– Enlarged prostate


43

Open Cystotomy


44

Stress Incontinence in Women• Restore posterior urethrovesical angle• Elevate base of bladder• MMK procedure

– Suprapubic suspension• Stamey procedure

– Endoscopic suspension– Stamey needle


45

MMK


46

Stamey Needle Placement
