Genitourinary Surgery
Anatomy
Suprarenal (adrenal) Glands
Adrenal glands-sit on the
superior and medial portion
of the kidneys.
Endocrine glands with a cortex
and medulla.
-Cortex- secretes steroidtype hormones essential to
the control of fluid and
electrolyte balance.
-Medulla- secretes
epinephrine and
norepinephrine.
-Enclosed within the
Gerota’s fascia
Kidneys: Filter waste




Left kidney is larger than the right.
Right kidney is lower than the left.
Located in the retroperitoneal space.
Nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney.
 There are more than 1 million nephrons.
 Two types- juxtamedullary (deep) and cortical (shallow) nephrons.
2 Basic Units of the Nephron
 Renal corpuscles
 Consist of a network of capillaries
 Called the glomerulus, and Bowman’s capsule
 Lie in the cortex of the kidney.
 Create a filter through which many substances
must pass.
 Renal tubules
 Consists of 3 units
 Proximal convoluted tubule
 Loop of Henle
 Distal convoluted tubule.
Ureters
 Conduct urine from the kidney
to the bladder
 Have thick-walled muscular
tubes with small lumen.
 Terminates by running
obliquely through the wall of
the bladder for about 1.5 cm. It
allows the bladder to prevent
reflux through muscular
contraction upon the ureter.
 The pelvic ureter in the female
relates to other structures in
such a way as to create
several surgical problems.
Urinary Bladder
 Urine collects in the bladder
 Lies in the anterior half of the pelvis.
 Lined with a mucous membrane that is wrinkled when the bladder is




not distended.
Openings to the ureters are approximately 3 cm apart.
Trigone-triangular area connecting ureters and urethra
Male bladder lies on and is attached to the base of the prostate
gland.
Detrusor Muscle
Male Reproductive System
Penis and Male Urethra
 Cylindrical structure composed of three cylindrical masses of
cavernous tissue.
 Two Corpora Cavernosa
 Corpus Spongiosum Penis
 Lies in the midline below these two structures.
 Expands distally forming the glans penis.
 Urethra passes through here and opens to the exterior via a slit like opening, the
urethral orifice or meatus.
 The skin covering the penis is thin, hairless, and somewhat dark.
 The prepuce (foreskin) resembles a mucous membrane and covers the
glans penis.
 Urethra- passes through the prostate gland
 Prostatic section of the urethra passes through the prostate with a gentle
forward curve.
 Ejaculatory duct opens on each side of a urethral structure called the
prostate utricle.
 Spongy section of the urethra is about 15 cm long.
Female Urethra
 Only 4 cm long.
 Passes in front of the lower half of the
vagina.
 Voluntary sphincter muscle surrounds the
female urethra.
 Some of these muscle fibers help form the
urethrovaginal sphincter.
 Skene’s glands provide lubrication.
Testes
 Paired structures
contained in the scrotum
 Tunica Vaginalis-interior
lining of the scrotum
 Tunica albuginea-thick
external connective tissue
covering the testes
 800 seminiferous tubles
which connect to the
epididymis
Ductus Deferens (Vas Deferens)
 Arises from the




epididymis
45 cm long
Center portion of the
spermatic cord
Joins the seminal vesicle
distally to form the
ejaculatory duct
Ejaculatory Ducts-lie
within the prostate where
they enter the prostatic
urethra
Prostate Gland
 Accessory gland (seminal)
 Lies at the base of the bladder
 Urethra runs through it
 Entry site for ejaculatory ducts
 Enclosed by a capsule
Pathology

adrenal cortex caused by
 Over production of ACTH
(adrenocorticotropic hormone) by

Adrenal Insufficiency
(Addison’s Disease)

secrete hormones
necessary to maintain
fluid balance and blood
pressure, or they inhibit
the stress response

stress

TB or AIDS
