Ureterostomy

A ureterostomy is the creation of a stoma (a new, artificial outlet) for a ureter or kidney.

The procedure is performed to divert the flow of urine away from the bladder when the bladder is not functioning or has been removed.

Indications may include: bladder cancer, spinal cord injury, malfunction of the bladder, and birth defects such as spina bifida
