Bladder surgery refers to various medical procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the bladder, such as tumors, infections, or urinary incontinence. Common types of bladder surgery include cystectomy, which involves removing part or all of the bladder, and transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), where tumors are removed through the urethra. These surgeries can be performed using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive methods like laparoscopy. Recovery times and potential complications vary depending on the type of surgery and the patient's overall health. Proper follow-up care is essential for optimal recovery and management of any underlying conditions.
