A segment of bowel is folded over to make a pouch (a neobladder or "new bladder"). Then it is attached to the place in the urethra where the urine normally empties from the bladder.
This procedure allows patients to maintain some normal urinary control. However, there are complications (including urine leakage at night). Urination is usually not the same as it was before surgery.
