Cystostomy (Cystostomy)

Cystostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating an artificial opening (stoma) between the bladder and the anterior abdominal wall. This operation is necessary in cases where the normal path of urine excretion through the urethra is difficult or impossible.

Cystostomy can be temporary or permanent. Temporary cystostomy is performed when it is necessary to provide temporary urine drainage. For example, with acute urinary retention, with a bladder tumor or with a bladder injury. A permanent cystostomy is performed when the normal route of urine elimination is no longer possible on a permanent basis. For example, with bladder cancer, with neurological diseases that lead to bladder paresis, or with congenital anomalies of the urinary tract.

Cystostomy can be performed either open or laparoscopically. With the open method, the surgeon will make a small incision in the anterior abdominal wall to gain access to the bladder. He will then create an opening in the bladder and secure a skin flange to the anterior abdominal wall to hold the stoma in place. With the laparoscopic method, the surgeon will make several small incisions in the anterior abdominal wall and insert a laparoscope to gain access to the bladder. He will then create an opening in the bladder and secure the stoma to the anterior abdominal wall.

After a cystostomy, the patient may be prescribed antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections. The patient may also be prescribed stoma care, which includes changing diapers daily and cleaning the skin around the stoma. In most cases, a cystostomy is a safe procedure, but there may be risks such as infection, bleeding, or damage to the bladder.

Overall, cystostomy is an important surgical procedure that can help patients whose normal urine output is difficult or impossible. You should discuss the possible risks and benefits of this procedure with your doctor to make an informed decision about whether it should be performed.

Cystostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating an artificial opening, called a stoma, between the bladder and the anterior abdominal wall. Cystostomy can be temporary or permanent and is used to facilitate urine drainage in cases where this cannot be done naturally.

Cystostomy may be necessary in various clinical situations, such as the presence of a bladder tumor, urinary tract obstruction, bladder trauma, acute urinary retention, or chronic urinary retention that cannot be resolved by conservative treatment.

During the operation, the surgeon creates an artificial opening in the bladder and anterior abdominal wall through which urine can be drained. Temporary cystostomy uses a thin catheter that can be removed after the cause of the cystostomy has been eliminated. In the case of a permanent cystostomy, the stoma remains open at all times, allowing urine to be drained continuously.

After surgery, patients may be prescribed antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections, as well as regular follow-up visits to evaluate the condition of the stoma and urinary tract. With proper stoma care and following doctor's recommendations, patients can live a full life with a permanent cystostomy.

In conclusion, cystostomy is an effective procedure that may be necessary in cases where the natural route of urine drainage is difficult or impossible. It can be temporary or permanent and can be performed by either open or laparoscopic surgery. Patients requiring cystostomy should receive advice and treatment from an experienced urology or surgery specialist.

A cystotomy is a medical procedure in which the doctor creates a suprapubic opening in the wall of the bladder. Used to temporarily or permanently remove urine from the body. A cystotomy is performed in a hospital to treat inflammation, hernia, or tumor. The procedure can be performed open or laparoscopically (using small punctures under local anesthesia). Most cystotomy procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.

A cystotomy tube is inserted through the urethra and reaches the bladder, allowing access to its contents. The urine can then be drained through a tube into a urine bag. In some cases, the doctor may leave the tube in place as long as necessary for therapeutic purposes.

A cystotome procedure may be performed for several reasons: - Various types of bladder cancer that may require surgery. - A hernia that requires removal of an internal organ, in this case the bladder. - Inflammation of the bladder and others
