What is a female cystectomy?

Female cystectomy is a procedure to treat bladder diseases. During the operation, the doctor will completely remove the bladder.

Female cystectomy is mainly used to treat severe cystitis, bladder cancer and other diseases. In total cystectomy, the doctor will remove the entire bladder, and depending on the disease treated, the nearby tissues and lymph nodes may be removed at the same time. Some women can use the intestine instead of the removed bladder to restore urination function.

Women need to visit the hospital regularly after surgery to ensure good recovery. In addition, nutrition intake can be increased appropriately to promote physical recovery.
