cystoplasty
Any structural surgical procedure performed on the urinary bladder. Clam augmentation cystoplasty is a complex surgical procedure used to treat the condition of unstable or irritable (hyper-reflexive) bladder. The organ is split into two and then reconstituted using a patch of gut taken from the small intestine. This greatly weakens bladder function and prevents full voiding but is effective in controlling involuntary urination.Collins Dictionary of Medicine © Robert M. Youngson 2004, 2005
