Explanation

A bladder flap is a term used in medicine to describe a section of the bladder that is moved or manipulated during certain surgical procedures. It's like a small piece of the bladder wall that can be lifted or moved aside to allow surgeons to access areas behind it. This is often done during procedures like a cesarean section, where the bladder is close to the uterus. The bladder flap is then put back in place after the procedure.
