Bladder Reconstruction
Bladder reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the function of the bladder, often after it has been damaged or removed due to conditions like cancer or injury. This surgery can involve creating a new bladder from a portion of the intestine, allowing the patient to urinate normally.
The procedure may be necessary for individuals who have undergone a cystectomy, which is the removal of the bladder. Post-surgery, patients may need to adapt to changes in their urinary habits, but many can return to a good quality of life with proper follow-up care and support.
