What is Bladder Surgery?

Bladder surgery refers to various medical procedures performed on the bladder to treat conditions such as tumors, stones, or functional disorders. Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor may recommend different types of surgery, from minimally invasive techniques to more complex procedures.

Types of Bladder Surgery

Here are some common types of bladder surgery:

• Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) – A minimally invasive procedure used to remove bladder tumors.
• Cystectomy – Partial or complete removal of the bladder, often required in cases of bladder cancer.
• Bladder Sling Surgery – A treatment for urinary incontinence, helping to provide support to the bladder.
• Bladder Augmentation – A procedure that increases bladder capacity for patients with severe urinary dysfunction.
• Bladder Stone Removal – A procedure to remove bladder stones that cause pain and difficulty urinating.

Who Needs Bladder Surgery?

Bladder surgery is recommended for individuals experiencing:

• Persistent urinary incontinence
• Bladder cancer
• Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Bladder stones
• Overactive bladder that does not respond to medication

Preparing for Bladder Surgery

If you are scheduled for bladder surgery, it’s essential to follow your doctor’s preoperative instructions. Here are some general guidelines:

• Discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor.
• Stay hydrated and follow dietary restrictions if provided.
• Arrange for post-surgery care and assistance at home.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed. Some patients may require a hospital stay, while others may go home the same day. Common post-surgery recommendations include:
