At Life Kingsbury Hospital, Bladder Augmentation (Cystoplasty) is performed using specialized reconstructive urological techniques and comprehensive evaluation of bladder function. Established in 1918, this accredited hospital in Cape Town, South Africa has 212 beds and offers advanced urology, pediatric urology, urinary reconstruction, and minimally invasive surgical services.

Bladder Augmentation (Cystoplasty) may be considered when reduced bladder capacity or high bladder pressure places urinary function or, in some cases, the upper urinary tract at risk. Before surgery, specialists may perform urodynamic testing, ultrasound, kidney-function assessment, urine testing, and other investigations to understand bladder storage and emptying. During the procedure, the bladder is opened and enlarged using a carefully prepared tissue segment, commonly from the intestine.
