How is it performed?

• An anaesthesiologist will first administer general anaesthesia. This will ensure you remain unconscious for the entire duration of the procedure.
• The surgeon will first make an incision on the abdomen and, once they enter, make a small incision right at the top of the urinary bladder.
• The surgeon will then surgically remove a part of the small or large intestine, cut the tube open and stitches this to the opening made in the bladder. In some cases, a section of the stomach might be cut and used in the same way.
• This will increase the overall capacity of the bladder and resolve many of the complications faced.
