Hi @palevsky,

I thought you might appreciate reading about augmentation cystoplasty in these medical journals:

Thanks so much for your support and information. I just got images sent to me on tests showing blockage and interpretation. I have seen another surgeon in San Francisco recently since I visit my daughter lives there and he is willing to give me a second opinion.
I still prefer having reconstruction but have been advised it will not be successful. I want to receive his perspective and then plan on proceeding.

@palevsky

That is very wise to collect good opinions and then make a decision based on the information. I wish you well.

Will you be seeing the surgeon in San Francisco in the near future?

I look forward to hearing from you again.

I was out there two weeks ago and saw him then. I did have one image with me but he wanted to see the disc with more images to see if it was determined how long stricture was.If it could be cut out it would involve surgeon and robotic surgery. I am being told it would probably not be successful but not conclusive for me yet.
