Patients with locally aggressive cases of bladder cancer are viable

candidates for neobladder reconstruction following radical cystectomy (surgical removal of bladder) if they have fully functional kidneys and liver. A small piece of intestine is used to new bladder, allowing the patient to urinate voluntary and maintain continence.

-Using anatomical directional terms, compare and contrast the spatial relationship between the bladder and three adjacent organs in males and females.
-What anatomical features allow for unidirectional urine flow into the bladder without the aid of gravity?
-How does the histological difference between the original bladder and the neobladder affect the physiology of the urinary system?Question 3 options:
