question 10

b cystorrhaphy
c cystostomy
d cystotomy

Explanation:

First Question (about cystocele)

A cystocele is defined as a hernia or protrusion of the urinary bladder, typically into the vagina. So the statement is correct.

• Option A: Cystopexy is the surgical fixation of the bladder.
• Option B: Cystorrhaphy is the suture of the bladder (repairing a tear).
• Option C: Cystostomy is the creation of an artificial opening into the bladder (usually for drainage, like a cystostomy tube).
• Option D: Cystotomy is an incision into the bladder (not creating a permanent or artificial opening for access, but a surgical cut). So the correct term for creating an artificial opening in the bladder is cystostomy.

Answer:

A. True
