Bladder Augmentation - Reader's Question: If a bladder is augmented, do the bladder muscles stop working completely? Or do they have limited function that won't allow the "new" bladder to empty completely, requiring periodic cathing?...

    Don't mean to be a pain in the bottom, but I have another question. I've never heard of opening the muscle such that the mucosa "puckers through" but I see how this could effectively increase bladder capacity. Is there any risk of rupture? Looks like there would be at least some. Thanks for the new information. Very informative.
