Cystectomy is a surgery that is done to remove the urinary bladder. In men, removing the entire bladder which is often referred to as ‘radical cystectomy’ typically includes removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles.
However, in women, radical cystectomy also involves the removal of the uterus, ovaries and sometimes part of the vagina. After having the bladder removed, the surgeon also needs to create a urinary diversion in order to create a new way to store urine and have it leave the body. There are several ways to store and eliminate urine after bladder removal.
Generally, cystectomy is performed to treat either invasive or noninvasive bladder cancer as well as to treat other pelvic tumors such as advanced colon, prostate, and endometrial cancer apart from some noncancerous and benign conditions such as interstitial cystitis and congenital abnormalities.
