removed d/t interstitial cystitis and the surgeon leaves the urinary meatus, could this be the cause of remaining urgency for the patient? If anyone knows the answer please let me know. Thanks, Aileen

Codemannorth-

How come they did not remove your bladder if it had holes in it and is not serving any purpose? When did you have this done?

It will be a year on nov 27 i was recovering from another major surgery and going thru my second round of chemo and the doc said it was easier to do this then take the bladder out also i had alot of radiation to that area which resulted in the holes in the bladder as well as alot of other scar tissue and damage from it so i think this was also the safest

Are you going to in and have them take it out at a later date?
