![The bladder is fasciculated in consequence of the difficulty of voiding the urine. 775. A fasciculated bladder laid open to show an enlarged prostate gland. The enlargement has taken place in a similar way, and the opening into the urethra had the same form as that in the preceding preparation. The posterior projecting part of the gland had been perforated by the ca- theter five years before death; during which period that instrument was always introduced through the false passage into the bladder. [The false passage, which is indicated by a bougie, was found however to be by no means of so great extent as the appearance of the part seemed to warrant, before the gland was laid open.] 776. A bladder very much thickened and fasciculated. The prostate gland is enlarged, and a pyriform tumour of considerable dimensions has been formed on its posterior part, and projects into the bladder. This tumour was the cause of uncertainty in introducing the catheter, which com- monly passed on one side or other of the projection, and lacerated the lateral parts. 777- A bladder and urethra laid open anteriorly, to show the prostate gland very much enlarged. [That portion of the prostate gland which Mr. Hunter describes as “ the posterior or valvular part,” is divided into two project- ing lobes ; but it is easy to conceive that this division may have been produced by the forcible introduction of instruments at some former period; (of which there are more than one example in the collection.) The lateral parts of the gland are also considerably augmented in size.] 6. Ureters and Kidneys diseased in consequence of Stricture. 778. The penis and bladder from a man who died in St. George’s Hospital. There had been a stricture in the membranous part of the urethra; be- hind which, ulceration took place, the urine became effused into the membranous part of the urethra, and the patient died. Both ureters are very much dilated, particularly the right. 779- A section of the left kidney, whose ureter, pelvis, and infundibula, are greatly enlarged, in consequence of disease in the bladder; occasioned by stricture in the urethra. 780. A kidney whose ureter, pelvis, and infundibula are very considerably](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0078.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
