Hello and thank you for sharing your question. I'm so sorry to hear that you are experiencing these complications. I'd be happy to give you some helpful information on the matter.
There are 4 different types of bladder suspension surgeries.
Open retropubic suspension surgery
The surgeon reaches the bladder through making an incision through the abdomen and then sews the bladder up to bone or tissue using suture.
Laparoscopic retropubic suspension surgery
similar to open retropubic surgery however has higher complication rates.
Needle bladder neck suspension surgery
done through abdomen or vagina, but is the least successful procedure compared to the others.
Sling Surgery
uses a piece of body tissue, called fascia, or a man-made material to create a sling or hammock-like structure that cradles the sagging bladder neck. Successful depending on condition of surrounding structures.
I suggest that you sit down with your doctor and discuss these techniques. I have never heard of a bladder suspension surgery through the back, so you will need to get more specifics on that from your doctor.
Since you have had surgeries in the past to make this area delicate, I believe your doctor is correct in taking a different route this time. Bladder suspension in general is not dangerous. It is simple a matter of choosing the correct method of surgery.
I hope this is helpful. Let us know if you have any more questions.
