A neobladder is a surgically created pouch that serves as a replacement for the bladder after its removal, often due to conditions like bladder cancer. This pouch is typically made from a segment of the intestine, allowing the body to store urine similarly to a natural bladder. Patients with a neobladder can urinate through the urethra, which helps maintain a more natural urinary function. This procedure is part of a broader surgical approach known as radical cystectomy, where the bladder is removed, and it can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals who have undergone this treatment.
