The removed segment is opened up and is attached to the bladder to increase bladder capacity. [23] [24] Stomach, cecum, and sigmoid colon have been used for augmentation, however it is much less commonly used. [24] Detrusorectomy: part of the detrusor muscle of the bladder is stripped away from the bladder to increase capacity. [25]
Risks of bladder augmentation include incomplete voiding of the bladder post-surgery (resulting in the patient having to undergo intermittent catheterisation or receive an indwelling catheter), acute intestinal obstruction due to adhesions some years after surgery, and, in extremely rare cases, cancers of the intestinal tissue within the bladder.
Atrophy of the detrusor muscle (atonic bladder is an extreme form) Hydronephrosis (congestion of the kidneys) Hypertrophy of the detrusor muscle (the muscle that squeezes the bladder to empty it during urination) Diverticula (formation of pouches) in the bladder wall (which can lead to stones and infection)

Men with prostatic hypertrophy are advised to sit down whilst urinating. [18] A 2014 meta-analysis found that, for elderly males with LUTS, sitting to urinate meant there was a decrease in post-void residual volume (PVR, ml), increased maximum urinary flow (Qmax, ml/s), which is comparable with pharmacological intervention, and decreased the ...
Intravesical drug delivery through a urinary catheter. Intravesical drug delivery is the delivery of medications directly into the bladder by urinary catheter.This method of drug delivery is used to directly target diseases of the bladder such as interstitial cystitis and bladder cancer, but currently faces obstacles such as low drug retention time due to washing out with urine and issues with ...
Prostatic artery embolization (PAE, or prostate artery embolisation) is a non-surgical technique for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). [1]The procedure involves blocking the blood flow of small branches of the prostatic arteries using microparticles injected via a small catheter, [2] to decrease the size of the prostate gland to reduce lower urinary tract symptoms.
Urinary bladder disease includes urinary bladder inflammation such as cystitis, bladder rupture and bladder obstruction (tamponade).Cystitis is common, sometimes referred to as urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by bacteria, bladder rupture occurs when the bladder is overfilled and not emptied while bladder tamponade is a result of blood clot formation near the bladder outlet.
