Cystosigmoidostomy

Cystosigmoidostomy (cystosigmastoma, cystosigma, sigmostoma) is a surgical operation that involves creating an artificial opening between the bladder and the sigmoid colon to ensure the flow of urine from the bladder to the intestine.

Cystosigmoidostomy is performed in the presence of urinary tract obstruction, when urine cannot pass freely through the bladder. This can be caused by various reasons such as kidney stones, tumors, infections and other diseases.

The cystosigmoidostomy procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2-3 hours. The surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen, then separates the bladder from the sigmoid colon and creates an opening between them. After this, the bladder is connected to the intestine using a special tube called a cystostomy.

After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital for several days to monitor his condition and make sure everything is going well. Then he can return home and begin to live a normal life.

Although cystosigmoidostomy is a major operation, it can help many people suffering from urinary tract obstruction. However, before you decide to have this surgery, you should consult your doctor and discuss all the possible risks and benefits.



A cysto sigmoidostomy is a surgical treatment for certain forms of colorectal cancer called rectal cancer. It is associated with the development of a neoplasm in the central part of the intestine and represents a serious challenge for surgery. The appearance of rectal cancer is a serious threat to life. Diagnosis of this dangerous disease must be made very quickly. Given the presence of malignant neoplasms in the sigmoid colon, a cysto-sigmoid stoma is performed within several hours before hospitalization to prevent the development of complications from vital organs. The need for cyst ostomy also involves resection of this section of the intestine. This type of cystectomy is performed due to the development of a malignant tumor on the sigmoid colon (ascending type cancer). It requires special attention and management tactics, since the tumor is localized in the upper third of the intestine. Malignant processes often occur in this place, which is explained by a violation of the integrity of the sigmoid colon itself, as a result of which it ceases to perform its digestive functions. The tumor developing in this area is most often multiple. Cysto-sigmoid stoma is used for malignant processes that correspond to stages 3-4 and occupy less than half of the sigmoid colon. The essence of the operation is to perform a cystectomy operation. After this, the patient has a hole in the body or posterior wall of the abdomen between the sigmoid-shaped intestine and the bladder. In recent years, colorectal resection has been used more often, in which a large part of the colon or rectum is removed, respectively. The only method of restoring normal de
