Augmentation lleocystoplasty Treatment in Turkey
About Augmentation lleocystoplasty
Key Highlights
-
Significantly increases bladder capacity and compliance.Redves high bladder pressure, protecting the upper urinary tract (kidneys) from damage.Can dramatically improve urinary continence and quality of life.Often eliminates or reduces the need for frequent catheterization in some patients.Uses the patient's own tissue (autologous graft), minimizing rejection risks.
Who is this surgery for?
- Neurogenic bladder dysfunction from spinal cord injury, spina bifida, or multiple sclerosis.
- Severe, refractory overactive bladder or interstitial cystitis.
- Bladder contracture (a small, scarred bladder) from radiation, surgery, or chronic inflammation.
- Congenital bladder anomalies like bladder exstrophy or cloacal malformations.
- Failed conservative management with medications, Botox injections, or neuromodulation.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive urodynamic testing to precisely define bladder function.
- Imaging studies like an ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate kidney health and anatomy.
- Bowel preparation (clear liquid diet, laxatives) to clean the intestinal segment to be used.
- Pre-operative counseling on lifelong post-surgery catheterization routines if needed.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised by the doctor.
- Pre-operative anesthesia evaluation and clearance.
Risks & possible complications
- Standard surgical risks: bleeding, infection, blood clots, and anesthesia complications.
- Bowel-related issues: bowel obstruction, leakage at the intestinal connection, or prolonged ileus.
- Metabolic changes due to intestinal segment absorbing urine (e.g., acidosis).
- Mucus production in the augmented bladder, which can clog catheters.
- Urinary tract infections and stone formation in the new bladder.
- Rare risk of bladder rupture or perforation.
- Potential for incomplete improvement or persistent incontinence.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay of 5-10 days for monitoring, pain management, and ensuring bowel function returns.
- Urinary catheters and abdominal drains remain in place for 1-3 weeks post-surgery.
- Patients are taught clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) to empty the new bladder, often required lifelong.
- Strict adherence to a scheduled voiding or catheterization regimen to prevent over-distension.
- Gradual return to light activities over 4-6 weeks; heavy lifting is restricted for 2-3 months.
- Long-term follow-up includes regular urine checks, blood tests for acidosis, and periodic imaging.

My dad was admitted to MGM...
My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
