In this article we will explore the phenomenon of Extravasation of urine and its impact on contemporary society. Since its appearance, Extravasation of urine has sparked debates, conflicting opinions and has generated deep interest in different areas. Over the years, Extravasation of urine has evolved and taken on new dimensions, influencing not only the way we interact with the world around us, but also our perception of reality. Through detailed analysis, we will address the various facets of Extravasation of urine and examine its relevance in the current context.

Extravasation of urine refers to the condition where an interruption of the urethra leads to a collection of urine in other cavities (extravasation), such as the scrotum or the penis in males. It is sometimes associated with a calculus.[citation needed]
An injury to the urethra leaving Buck's fascia intact results in a collection of urine (extravasation) limited to the penis, deep to Buck's fascia. If the injury to the bulb of the penis results in urethral injury accompanying a tear of Buck's fascia, then extravasated blood and urine accumulates in the superficial perineal space, passing into the penis (outer to Buck's fascia) as well as the scrotum and lower anterior abdominal wall. Extravasation of urine involving a compromised Buck's fascia can be observed clinically, with blood collecting in the inguinal superficial pouch, resulting in a butterfly-shaped region surrounding the penis.[citation needed]
Long term complications of renal trauma, ureteral obstruction, or kidney transplant can lead to the formation of an urinoma encapsulating extravasated urine.[1]
