Bladder prolapse (cystocele) is a functional urological problem that occurs when the bladder shifts downward from its normal anatomical position due to weakened supporting ligaments and muscles. This can cause difficulty urinating, urinary incontinence, a feeling of incomplete emptying and a noticeable decline in quality of life.
Bladder prolapse can develop due to causes such as childbirth, aging, weakened pelvic floor muscles and chronic pressure increase. In suitable patients, robotic surgery is considered a modern treatment option that allows precise anatomical repair.
Diagnosing bladder prolapse involves evaluating the patient's complaints, clinical examination findings and, if necessary, imaging together. The degree of prolapse, any accompanying prolapse of other pelvic organs and urinary function are analyzed in detail.
This evaluation guides whether surgery is needed and which surgical approach should be used.
Robotic surgery for bladder prolapse offers significant advantages for repairs requiring high precision in the pelvic anatomy. Thanks to 3D visualization and enhanced surgical dexterity, the bladder's anatomical position is restored and the supporting structures are reinforced.
Robotic surgery can provide advantages such as preserving surrounding tissue, more controlled surgical intervention and a faster recovery. With proper patient selection, safe and lasting results are the aim.
After surgery, patients are placed on a regular follow-up program. Urinary function, pelvic floor support and general recovery are assessed at check-ups. Supportive treatment and lifestyle recommendations may be planned if needed.
The main goal of the treatment process is to relieve complaints, achieve functional recovery and improve the patient's quality of life.
