shane's Neo - Bladder Tool Kit : Post Operative Management :

What are the Changes to your Bladder Function following the Operation :

The NeoBladder will not have the Muscular Contraction, and will not have the usual Bladder Sensation. This means that there will not be the same Degree of Urgency and Pressure when the Bladder reaches its Capacity.

Following your Surgery you will be given support, Education and Information from specialist Nursing Staff. That will assist you to adjust and learn to manage your NeoBladder.

Changes to your Bladder Control :

Bladder control is going to be reduced initially. Following your Operation your New NeoBladder Capacity will be Small and the New Bladder Outlet might not be Watertight.

This may mean that as you NeoBladder is filling up, you may experience some Dribbling(Stress) Incontinence.

At night, when the Bladder is full, Urine may leak out of the Urethra resulting in (Overflow) Incontinence.

You can overcome these initial problems by regular Toileting and use of Continence Aids.
