Bladder cancer treatment often includes surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. At Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, our team regularly performs these complex procedures. Some bladder surgery affects your body’s ability to urinate. Our surgeons perform reconstructive procedures to restore function. Many patients can urinate on their own after surgery, even without a bladder.
