What is cystectomy?
and cystectomy is a surgical operation to remove the bladder of the person. The bladder is a pelvic organ that stores urine until it leaves the body. Depending on the reason for cystectomy, surgery may include the removal of the entire bladder of the patient or only part of the bladder. When the entire bladder is removed, the procedure is called a simple cystectomy; If only part is removed, partial cystectomy is called. In some cases, it is necessary to remove other organs in the pelvis together with the bladder and this procedure is called radical cystectomy. Because cystectomy is the main surgery, the patient is usually given general anesthesia. Once the patient was prepared for surgery and anesthesia has done his work, the surgeon will cut the abdomen and rejection through the whole or part of the bladder.
After the surgery, the patient who has undergone cystectomy will have some main adjustments. Given that his urinaryThe river can no longer hold urine until it is ready to urinate, it will need a new way to remove urine. For this purpose, surgeons create a diversion of the urine.
One type of urine diversion after cystectomy involves removing a piece of intestine of the patient and binding at one end and creating a piece of similar tube. The tied end is used to create an opening that leads from the abdominal wall to the outside of the body. Then the tube is attached to the patient's urethors, which are tubes through which the urine moves to the bladder from the kidneys. When the urine moves from the kidney from the patient after this type of diversion, it flows through the urethors and the tube, it finally flows from the hole in the abdominal wall to the bag to wear it to hold it.
Like all operations, cystectomy poses some risks for the patient. Among the most serious is bowel infection. Such an infection can contribute to the development of a condition called peritonitis, which is a life -threatening condition markedan inflammation of the membrane that lines the abdomen. Also, when only part of the bladder has been removed, the patient's urine can escape from the bladder into the body. In addition to these potential problems, the patient could lose too much blood, have problems related to anesthesia, suffer damage to other organs or after recovery from surgery to experience sexual procedure.
