bladder question

what is the differnt ways they can lift up your bladder and what are the hospital stay and recovery from work?

Hello Traci,

I had my bladder suspension with my hysterectomy. I had it done abdominally (sp?) They tacked it up with two stitches somewhere to muscles or ligaments. I had MMK which is usually tacked to pelvic bone - but at the last minute they went the other way. Without the TAH the Doc said I would be at home for 4 weeks. If they did it vaginally they do it with mesh according to my Doc. I am sure someone else will come along with more info.

Traci--There are several different types of surgery to suspend the bladder and to treat incontinence. The AUGS website describes the procedures very well. If you'd like to read more about them, I'm including a link. Treating Incontinence with Surgery from AUGS

Hope you find the information you need. Sending a back to you, too....
