What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Radical Cystectomy, Ultrapro mesh for hernia prevention after bladder surgery?
Is mesh placement for hernia prevention after bladder surgery safe?
How is the treatment Radical Cystectomy unique for preventing hernias after bladder surgery?
Radical cystectomy, which involves removing the bladder, is unique because it can be combined with mesh placement to prevent hernias after surgery. This approach is different from other treatments as it directly addresses the risk of hernia formation by reinforcing the surgical area with mesh, which is not a standard practice in all bladder surgeries.12101112
