Cystectomy
Articles and resources for Cystectomy in Urologic Surgery.
Cystectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of the bladder. This operation is often considered for various reasons, including bladder cancer, severe bladder dysfunction, or recurrent urinary tract infections that do not respond to other treatments. In some cases, cystectomy may also be recommended for patients with certain congenital conditions affecting the bladder. The decision to undergo this procedure typically follows a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and diagnostic imaging.
The surgery can be performed using different techniques, including open surgery or minimally invasive methods such as laparoscopy. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes the bladder while taking precautions to preserve surrounding structures when possible. Patients can expect to stay in the hospital for several days post-surgery, during which they will be monitored for any complications. Recovery may involve managing pain, adjusting to changes in urinary function, and following a specific care plan.
Like any surgical procedure, cystectomy carries both benefits and risks. On the positive side, it can significantly improve quality of life by alleviating symptoms and addressing underlying health issues. However, potential risks may include infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. Additionally, patients may experience changes in urinary patterns or the need for urinary diversion methods, which can impact daily living. Understanding these factors can help patients and their healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding the procedure.
