Ureterorectostomy

Ureterorectostomy (ureterorectosomia, from the Latin ureter - ureter and rectum - rectum) is a surgical operation that involves creating an artificial connection between the ureter and the rectum. It is performed for various diseases of the urinary tract that cannot be cured by other methods.

A ureterorectostomy is installed through an incision in the wall of the ureter and the rectum. The ureter is connected to the rectum using a special tube called a ureterostomy. After surgery, the patient can urinate through the ureterostomy, as well as empty the rectum through it.

The benefits of ureterorectostomy include the ability to control urination and reduce the risk of developing urinary tract infections. In addition, a ureterorectostomy tube can be used to divert urine during other urinary tract surgeries.

However, ureterorectostomy has its disadvantages. It may be associated with complications such as urinary tract infections and bowel dysfunction. Also, after surgery, discomfort may occur due to the presence of a ureterostomy.

In general, ureterorectostomy is an effective treatment for urinary tract disease in patients for whom other treatments have failed. However, before undergoing this operation, it is necessary to carefully evaluate all the risks and benefits, and also choose an experienced surgeon.

Ureterorectostomy is a surgical operation that involves creating an anastomosis between the ureter and rectum. The operation can be performed both for tumors of the bladder and prostate, and for obstruction of the ureters due to trauma.

Ureterorectostomy is performed to create a diversion of urine from the upper urinary tract to the rectum in the following conditions:

– Tumor of the bladder or prostate;
– Trauma to the ureter;
– Obstruction of the ureters;
– Diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract;

During the operation, the surgeon makes a small incision on the front wall of the bladder, then passes a catheter through it from the ureter into the rectum. After this, the ureter is brought out through an incision in the abdomen.

After surgery, the patient must be regularly monitored by a doctor and undergo follow-up examinations. This is necessary to monitor the condition of the ureter and rectum, as well as to identify possible complications.
