What is vesicorrhaphy?

Vesicorrhaphy is the surgical repair of the urinary bladder. It is a procedure that is performed to correct tears or other damage to the bladder. Vesicorrhaphy can be performed either laparoscopically or via an open incision.

Laparoscopic vesicorrhaphy is performed using a small camera and surgical instruments that are inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. The surgeon uses the camera to visualize the bladder and repair the damage.

Open vesicorrhaphy is performed through an incision in the lower abdomen. The surgeon repairs the damage to the bladder using traditional surgical techniques.

Vesicorrhaphy is a relatively common surgical procedure. It is usually successful in repairing the damage to the bladder and allowing the patient to regain normal urinary function.
