About Bladder Repair

Bladder repair, medically known as cystorrhaphy, is a surgical procedure performed by a urologist to correct structural defects, injuries, or weaknesses in the bladder wall. This operation is crucial for restoring normal urinary function, preventing complications like incontinence or organ prolapse, and alleviating pain. The procedure can be performed using various techniques, including open surgery, laparoscopic (minimally invasive) methods, or robotic-assisted surgery, depending on the complexity of the condition. It is commonly required after trauma, for congenital abnormalities, or to treat conditions like a vesicovaginal fistula or bladder diverticulum. A successful bladder repair helps patients regain control, improve quality of life, and prevent long-term urinary issues.

PATIENT REVIEW

Sophia Joshi, a 68-year-old retired librarian,...

Sophia Joshi, a 68-year-old retired librarian, had been living with increasing urinary incontinence for over five years. It began as occasional leaks when she coughed or laughed, but progressed to a constant feeling of dampness and the need to wear pads daily. Her active lifestyle, which included gardening and walking with friends, became restricted by her fear of accidents and odor. After trying pelvic floor physiotherapy and medications with minimal improvement, her urologist, Dr. Mehta, diagnosed her with a significant cystocele (prolapsed bladder). He recommended a robotic-assisted laparoscopic bladder repair (anterior colporrhaphy) to restore the bladder's normal position. Sophia was terrified of surgery but desperate for a solution. The procedure went smoothly, and after an overnight hospital stay, she went home with a catheter for a week. The initial recovery was uncomfortable, but within six weeks, her continence was dramatically improved. Emotionally, she transitioned from feeling isolated and ashamed to regaining her confidence and joy in social activities, deeply grateful for her restored freedom.
