Cystocoloplasty

Cystocoloplasty is a surgical procedure used to reconstruct the bladder after part or all of it has been removed. It involves connecting the bladder to the colon (colorectal area) to restore its function and volume.

Cystocoloplasty can be performed either to remove part of the bladder or to completely remove it. In the first case, surgery is performed to remove malignant tumors, stones or other damage. In the second case, cystocoloplasty is performed to create a new bladder from the colon.

The cystocoloplasty procedure includes several stages:

1. Colon preparation: Before surgery, the colon must be prepared for connection to the bladder. This includes removing stool, washing and treating the intestinal wall.

2. Creating the connection: In this step, the surgeon creates a connection between the bladder and colon. He uses special instruments to form a canal that connects both organs.

3. Leak test: After creating the connection, the surgeon checks the connection for leaks to ensure that urine will not leak from the bladder into the colon.

4. Bladder reconstruction: In the last step, the surgeon reconstructs the bladder by filling it with fluid and removing air.

After the operation, the patient must remain in the hospital under the supervision of doctors for several days. During this time, he must observe certain dietary and lifestyle restrictions to avoid complications.

Overall, cystocoloplasty is an effective method for bladder reconstruction. It allows you to preserve bladder function and reduce the risk of complications associated with the absence of a bladder. However, like any other surgery, it can have risks and complications, so you should carefully consider all possible risks and benefits before undergoing it.
