The surgical creation of an artificial urethra.
A type of ostomy that provides a new outlet for the bladder.
Diversion of urine into a surgically created opening in the abdominal wall so that urine drains continually into an attached appliance or bag.
In cases where the bladder has been surgically removed, a surgical procedure may be performed to create a specialized opening, known as a stoma, to divert urine to the outside of the body for collection. This surgical opening allows urine to bypass the bladder and be directed to an external collection system. By creating this stoma, healthcare professionals can facilitate the continuous elimination of urine, ensuring that the urinary system functions effectively despite the absence of the bladder. This technique plays a crucial role in managing various medical conditions and allows individuals to maintain a controlled urinary system, promoting their overall health and well-being.
