Ureterocystoneostomy

Ureterocystoneostomy: what is it and when is it used?

Ureterocystoneostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening between the ureter and bladder. The name of the procedure is derived from the words "uretero-" (relating to the urethra), "cystis" (bladder), "neos" (new) and "stoma" (opening). It may also be called ureterovesicostomy, ureteroneocystostomy, or ureterocystostomy.

A ureterocystoneostomy may be necessary in cases where the urethra is blocked or does not work properly, such as congenital abnormalities, tumors, strictures, or trauma. It can also be used to facilitate the flow of urine in certain diseases of the urinary system, such as urolithiasis.

During a ureterocystoneostomy, the surgeon creates an artificial opening in the bladder to which one or both ureters are attached. This allows urine to drain from the kidneys into the bladder, bypassing the urethra. In most cases, ureterocystoneostomy is performed using laparoscopic surgery, which reduces the risk of complications and shortens recovery time after surgery.

Although ureterocystoneostomy can be an effective treatment for a number of urinary tract conditions, it also carries certain risks. These include urinary tract infections, bleeding, scar tissue formation, and narrowing of the opening between the urethra and bladder. Patients who require ureterocystoneostomy should carefully discuss the possible risks and benefits of this procedure with their doctor.

In conclusion, ureterocystoneostomy is a surgical procedure used to restore the flow of urine in diseases of the urinary system that may lead to blockage of the urethra. Although it can be effective, it also comes with certain risks, and patients should discuss the possible benefits and drawbacks of this procedure with their doctor.

Ureterocystoneostomy (ureterocystoneostomy; Latin ureterocystoanastoma; Greek ουρητέρας ureter + κύστις bladder + νέος new + στόμα opening) is a surgical operation in which an anastomosis is created between the bladder and ureter. Ureterocestoneostomy is used for various diseases of the urinary system, such as urolithiasis, bladder tumors, ureteral strictures, urine reflux, etc.

During surgery, the ureters and bladder are connected to each other, creating a new path for the outflow of urine. This eliminates urinary tract obstruction and restores normal urine flow from the bladder.

Ureterocystoneostomy has a number of advantages compared to other methods of treating the urinary tract. Firstly, it allows you to maintain normal bladder and kidney function, which is especially important for patients with chronic renal failure. Secondly, it can be performed with minimal risks and complications, making it one of the safest treatments.

However, ureterocestoneostomy may have some disadvantages, such as the risk of bladder stones and recurrence of urinary tract obstruction. In addition, for a successful operation, it is necessary to take into account many factors, such as the location of the ureter, the condition of the bladder, etc. Therefore, before performing a ureterocestoneostomy, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and select an appropriate treatment method.
