Bladder: About this Treatment
Risks for Bladder Surgery
Risks of bladder surgery are like those with any major surgery:
- Reactions to anesthesia
- Bleeding from the surgery
- Blood clots in the legs or lungs
- Damage to nearby organs
- Infections at the surgery site
If lymph nodes are removed, there is a risk of a condition called lymphedema which is a pooling of lymph fluid in the legs.
