Section of the Bladder

Bladder sectioning (draining urine from the bladder) is a surgical procedure that involves creating an opening (cutting away part of the bladder) to restore the normal flow of urine after the bladder has been affected or blocked. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including cancer, injury, or infection. In this article we will look at the basic principles, reasons and procedure for performing a bladder section.

Reasons for a bladder section can range from a bladder tumor to injury or infection. The tumor can damage the bladder, which can cause urinary retention or urinary problems. Injury or infection can also damage the bladder and cause urinary retention.

The bladder sectioning procedure involves making an incision in the lower wall of the bladder near the urethra to allow urine to flow freely from the bladder. This incision is usually made using a special surgical instrument called an "oversecator." After creating an opening in the bladder, urine is drained using a rubber tube or catheter.

After surgery to cut the bladder, the patient is kept under observation for several days in the hospital to ensure that the urinary system is functioning properly. Patients can usually leave the hospital a few days after surgery, depending on the severity of their condition.
