A "bladder tie up" involves lifting and tightening the tissues that support the bladder so that the bladder is returned to its normal position in your body. If you are asking about exactly what is done:

You will receive a regional (a block) or general anesthesia. An incision will be made either via the abdomen or via the vagina. The surgeon will expose the tissue between the vagina and the bladder. He will try to support the bladder by removing the stretched tissue and moving more tissue around it. Your surgeon may also use a mesh device to lift the bladder. The incision will then be closed. When you reach the recovery room, you will discover that you have a urinary catheter in place. Please note, this catheter can be inserted either through your urethra or your abdomen...depending on the surgical procedure. This allows for healing by removing pressure from the bladder (by keeping it empty). The catheter will stay in place usually for 2 to 6 days.
