Ureterosigmoidostomy (Ureterosigmoidostomy)

Ureterosigmoidostomy (Ureterosigmoidostomy) is a surgical operation consisting of implantation of the ureters into the sigmoid colon (see Ureterosigmoidostomy). This type of permanent urinary diversion may be used after a cystectomy or to bypass a diseased or damaged bladder. In this case, urine is excreted simultaneously with feces, and the frequency of bowel movements depends on the condition of the anal sphincter. The main advantage of this method of urine diversion is that you can avoid creating an external hole and using a urinal to collect urine. The disadvantages of this method are the possible development of kidney infection and acidosis.

Ureterosigmoidostomy is a surgical procedure in which ureters are implanted into the sigmoid colon. This method of urinary diversion is used after a cystectomy to bypass a diseased or damaged bladder. Urine is excreted along with feces and the frequency of bowel movements depends on the functional state of the anal sphincter. The main advantage of ureterosigmoidostomy is that there is no need to use external urinals or create an opening for urine collection. However, this method may lead to kidney infection or acidosis.

Ureterostomy is a violation of the integrity of the terminal part of the genitourinary system, accompanied by the imposition of a direct anastomosis between the bladder and some other organ - an artificial bladder bag (or part thereof), a limb stump, etc., resulting in the entry of bladder contents into this organ through created anastomosis. In some cases, two surgical approaches are performed: inferomedian laparotomy - to excise part of the bladder wall and remove carcinoma, after which a ureterovesical anastomosis is applied; laparoscopic surgery for ureteral dissection; plastic surgery of the bladder using artificial reservoirs, etc.
