A surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct a damaged or diseased bladder, often by grafting tissue.
From Greek 'kystis' (bladder) + 'plastos' (formed/molded). The term combines the bladder with the surgical suffix indicating reshaping or reconstruction.
Surgeons can actually use tissue from the small intestine to augment a failing bladder—it's remarkable that the body's plumbing can be rerouted and rebuilt like this!
