Urostomy

Urostomy

A urostomy is a surgical procedure where a portion of the urinary system is diverted to create an artificial opening called a stoma on the abdomen. This procedure is typically performed when the bladder is unable to function properly due to various conditions such as bladder cancer, birth defects, traumatic injury, or other diseases affecting the urinary tract. During a urostomy, the surgeon reconfigures the urinary tract, redirecting urine flow away from the bladder. The ureters, which normally carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, are connected to a segment of the intestine or redirected directly to the abdominal wall, forming the stoma. A specialized pouch, known as a urostomy pouch or ostomy bag, is then attached to the stoma to collect urine. Individuals who undergo a urostomy often require time to adjust physically and emotionally to the changes in their body. Proper care of the stoma and pouch is essential to prevent infections and maintain skin health. Stoma care involves regular cleaning, changing of the pouch, and ensuring a proper fit to minimize leakage or discomfort. Despite the initial challenges, many individuals with a urostomy lead fulfilling lives and participate in various activities. Support groups, healthcare professionals, and specialized resources exist to assist those undergoing a urostomy in adapting to the changes and managing their daily routines effectively. The procedure aims to improve quality of life by alleviating urinary issues and allowing individuals to regain control over their bodily functions.
