The majority of surgeries performed on the bladder are done to curb urinary incontinence, according to BladderDisorders.info. Some bladder surgeries are done as part of bladder cancer treatments.
Retropubic Suspension
Retropubic suspension is a surgical procedure for women. It raises the urethra and bladder to their correct positions in the pelvic area. This prevents pressure on the bladder from causing incontinence.
Sling Procedure
The sling procedure is normally performed on women, according to BladderDisorders.info. The urethral sphincter is compressed by abdominal tissue or synthetic material to treat incontinence.
Stone Removal
Bladder stones are known to cause pain and incontinence. A cytoscope is inserted to crush the stone during this surgery.
Transurethral Resection
The transurethral resection is a surgery which is used to treat bladder cancer. It starts with inserting a cytoscope through the urethra. A wire loop is inserted into the bladder, where it latches onto the cancer and hopefully pulls all of it out.
Segmental Cystectomy
A segmental cystectomy is another surgical treatment of bladder cancer. It consists of the removal of a portion of the bladder. This will only be used if the cancer is limited to one area in the bladder.
