Cystectomy, is a medical term for surgically removing the bladder.
The word is derived from two parts:
A root: CYST - which means bladder
A suffix: ECTOMY - means removal, or surgical removal.
Cystectomy is a surgical procedure that removes all or part of the urinary bladder, the muscular organ that collects urine from the kidneys for excretion at a later time.
During a successful partial cystectomy, the cancerous or damaged area of the bladder is removed and the patient retains urinary control.
Cystectomy is performed in a hospital operating room by a urologist, a medical doctor who has completed specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary tract and genital organs.
