Dealing with severe bladder dysfunction can drastically impact daily life, but advanced surgical procedures like augmentation cystoplasty are offering new hope to patients. A groundbreaking case at Kurnool Medical College demonstrates how this innovative surgical approach is transforming lives through expert urological care.
Understanding Augmentation Cystoplasty
Augmentation cystoplasty is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to increase bladder capacity and improve quality of life for patients with severe bladder dysfunction. According to the American Urological Association, this procedure has become increasingly important in treating various bladder conditions.
