What is Bladder Reconstruction?
Bladder reconstruction is major surgery that rebuilds or enlarges the bladder — most often by augmenting it with a patch of bowel (augmentation cystoplasty) or by creating a new bladder from bowel after removal of the original (orthotopic neobladder) — so that urine can be stored at safe low pressure and passed through the urethra rather than into an external bag.
