Very common: It is very common to do bladder surgery at the same time as a hysterectomy for patients with incontinence or a prolapsed (falling) bladder. A variety of surgical techniques can be used.

Cery common: It is quite common to perform support surgeries such as anterior repairs (bladder lift) and posterior repairs as well as vaginal apex support procedures (sacrospinous ligament suspension) and incontinence slings - all in conjunction with a hysterectomy.
