Ureterostomy is a surgical procedure that involves the creation of a stoma, a small opening, on the abdomen to redirect one or both ureters, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This surgical intervention is typically performed when the normal flow of urine is obstructed or when the bladder cannot adequately store or expel urine. During a ureterostomy, the surgeon detaches the ureters from the bladder and connects them directly to the abdominal wall, forming an opening called a stoma. This allows urine to bypass the bladder entirely, draining it directly from the ureters into an external collection bag attached to the stoma. This procedure is often considered when the bladder is dysfunctional due to trauma, disease, or congenital abnormalities, making it unable to store or eliminate urine efficiently. Ureterostomy can significantly improve a patient's quality of life by relieving urinary obstructions or incontinence issues. However, it requires ongoing care and management of the stoma, including regular cleaning, monitoring for infections, and maintaining proper hygiene to prevent complications. Patients who undergo ureterostomy may need to adapt to lifestyle changes and follow-up care to ensure optimal health and well-being.
