Neobladder

A neobladder is a surgically created replacement for the natural bladder using a segment of intestine. It is typically performed after bladder removal due to cancer or other severe conditions. The surgeon fashions the intestine into a new, reservoir-like pouch that can store urine. Patients can often learn to control urination normally over time, avoiding the need for external bags. The goal is to maintain the body's ability to store and eliminate urine naturally, improving quality of life after bladder surgery.
