Overview
SURGERY
Surgery for bladder cancer includes:
- Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB): Cancerous bladder tissue is removed through the urethra.
Partial or complete removal of the bladder: Many people with stage II or III bladder cancer may need to have their bladder removed (radical cystectomy). Sometimes only part of the bladder is removed. Radiation and chemotherapy is usually given after this surgery. Surgery may also be done to help your body drain urine after the bladder is removed. This may include:
- Ileal conduit: A small urine reservoir is surgically created from a small piece of your bowel. The ureters that drain urine from the kidneys are attached to one end of the bowel segment. The other end is brought out through an opening in the skin (a stoma). The stoma allows the patient to drain the collected urine out of the reservoir.
Continent urinary reservoir: A pouch to collect urine is created inside your body using a piece of your colon. You will need to insert a tube into an opening in your skin (stoma) into this pouch to drain the urine. Orthotopic neobladder: This surgery is becoming more common in patients who had their bladder removed. A part of your bowel is folded over to make a pouch that collects urine. It is attached to the place in the body where the urine normally empties from the bladder. This procedure allows you to maintain some normal urinary control.
