Urostomy is a stoma (artificial opening) for the urinary system and is made in cases where long-term drainage of urine through the bladder and urethra is not possible. It is a surgical procedure which diverts the normal flow of urine from the kidneys and ureters into a surgically created stoma.
The surgeon will isolate a short piece of your small intestine from which he will make a tube “known as an “ileal conduit” the two ureters will be connected into this which will then be brought to the surface of the abdomen as a stoma. Urine will continue to pass through the stoma; completely bypassing the bladder, in some cases depending upon the reason for the surgery the bladder may be completely removed.
