ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you're facing bladder removal surgery, choosing a urinary diversion may be one of the most important decisions you'll ever make—and one of the hardest to understand.
In this episode, reconstructive urologist Dr. Divya Ajay shares how real patient experiences inspired a first-of-its-kind decision tool that helps people compare diversion options, set realistic expectations and better prepare for life after surgery.
From intimacy and travel to recovery, aging and day-to-day living, this conversation offers practical guidance that can help patients feel more informed, more confident and more in control of their treatment journey.
