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

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.
