Hi all,
I had a nephrouterectomy (kidney,ureter,bladder cuff removed), in October due to cancer in my ureter surgery went well but I had a leak in my bladder. I've been catherised since and it doesnt seem to be mending. Has anyone else experienced this and what was the treatment?? Did you have surgery to repair ? Many thanks x
Hi Pugsy
I can see that you also posted this question in the bladder cancer group and had replies there. How did your appointment go the other day?

Hi, well the leak is still there and isn't mending but they are taking my catheter out next week. They say the urine is draining into a 2mm walled cavity and not going anywhere so in effect I have a tiny mini bladder too. Just got to watch out for any pain or infection.
