For bladder surgery, general anesthesia is commonly used to ensure the patient is completely unconscious and pain-free during the procedure. In some cases, regional anesthesia, such as spinal or epidural anesthesia, may be employed to numb the lower body while the patient remains awake or sedated. The choice of anesthesia often depends on the specific procedure, the patient's health, and the surgeon's preference.

The bladder wall thickness typically measures around 3 to 5 millimeters when the bladder is distended. However, the measurement can vary based on individual factors and whether the bladder is empty or full. In clinical settings, ultrasound or other imaging techniques are often used to assess bladder size and wall thickness accurately.

Yes, a bladder scan can be performed with a Foley catheter in place, but it may not provide accurate results. The presence of the catheter can affect the bladder volume measurement because it may not accurately reflect the amount of urine present in the bladder. To obtain reliable results, it's often recommended to clamp the catheter for a period before the scan, allowing urine to accumulate in the bladder. However, this should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

In both genders, the urethra transports urine. In men, the urethra also transports semen which contains sperm cells and can impregnate a woman. In males, the urethra takes a detour through the prostate gland and seminal vesicles, so their urethrae are used for urination and ejaculation.
