Operations on the bladder: Other plastic reconstruction of the bladder: Closure of an open urachus: Open surgical
You have had a congenital fistula between your bladder and your belly button closed. You had an operation on your open abdomen.
The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out. The bladder is like a balloon. There is a hollow space on the inside. This hollow space is surrounded by the bladder wall.
Before birth the child has a connection between their bladder and their belly button. This fistula later closes. In your case, part of this congenital fistula remained open. The operation has closed this fistula.
