There are different ways of doing this. The most common is to have a urostomy. This means having a bag outside your body to collect your urine. The surgeon creates a new opening stoma for your urine to pass through. This can also be called an ileal conduit. The operation takes between 2 and 6 hours. The urologist removes a small piece of your small bowel ileum.
They join the cut ends of the ileum back together. The surgeon then uses this piece of ileum to form the urostomy. They sew the tubes that carry urine from your kidneys the ureters into one end of this piece of ileum. Next, the surgeon cuts a small hole in the surface of your tummy abdomen. They then bring the other open end of the piece of ileum out through this hole. After the operation, your urine will run down the ureters, through the piece of ileum and out through the stoma.

Author: Linda J. Introduction Over , people in the United States US are living with permanent ostomies with over , new colostomy or ileostomy surgeries per year Sheetz et al. Background History The word stoma comes from the Greek word for mouth. Diversion Ostomies There are two major types of surgically created abdominal ostomies: fecal diversions and urinary diversions.
Fecal Diversions The most common fecal surgical diversions include those ostomies created to connect the abdominal wall to a terminal end ileum or a loop of the distal small intestines ileostomies and those ostomies created to connect the abdominal wall to the terminal end or a loop of any part of the large intestine colostomies Goldberg et al.
Foods that help to minimize odor include: Parsley, Cilantro, Mint, and Chlorophyll tablets, which may be ingested orally and are made specifically for this purpose.
Patients may also use deodorant drops or tablets that go into the ostomy pouch they are not consumed or use ostomy pouches with charcoal filters built into the pouch to help minimize odor. Urinary Diversions The most frequently performed urinary diversions procedure is the ileal conduit. Caring for Ostomates Ostomates should have their stoma examined at least annually as part of their overall general healthcare and head-to-toe physical examination.
To Irrigate or Not to Irrigate An ostomate is a person with an ostomy. A colostomate is a person with a colostomy. Select the same time of day every time for irrigation 2. Allow 1 hour for entire procedure 3. Gather supplies 4. Close the clamp on the irrigation appliance tubing. Fill irrigation bag with ml of tepid not cold, not really warm water. Hang the bag from a hook in the bathroom near the toilet.
Attach cone to end of irrigation tubing that is connected to irrigation bag. Apply a water-soluble lubricant such as K-Y jelly to the cone. Gently insert lubricated cone tip into the stoma. New Ostomate Follow Up by Ostomy Specialists As far as follow-up, typically, new ostomates should be seen 2 weeks postoperatively by an ostomy specialist, and then in routine follow-up visits every weeks x months and then annually and as needed.
Introduction to Pouching Appliances for all Abdominal Ostomies Today, ostomates have a wide variety of products to choose from. At discharge all patients should be taught at a minimum: Care for the stoma, especially cleansing and protecting — stomas do not have pain sensation and may bleed easily if rubbed too hard. Use plain water, or mild soap and water for ileostomies and colostomies and the same or a mild vinegar solution and water for urostomy stomas the vinegar cuts through the uric acid of the urine.
A mild vinegar solution would be quarter strength household vinegar or 1 part white household vinegar mixed with 3 parts water 1 cup white vinegar mixed with 3 cups water. Stomas should be examined at each health care provider follow-up visit.
They should be pink and moist. The os opening of the stoma should be nicely centered. The stoma should be free of discoloration or growths Grove, et. Proper measurement of stoma — stoma should be measured to assure proper size of wafer opening so that no skin is visible around the stoma when the appliance is in place. The stoma will likely shrink slightly in the first 2 weeks, so stoma should be re-measured after weeks post-op, to assure continued proper sizing of the appliance.
Care of the surrounding skin — peristomal skin irritation skin irritation to the skin immediately around the stoma is the most common post-op complication for all ostomies Ratliff et al, Here are some tips to pass on to the patient: Keep the skin clean and dry before applying the appliance.
If you have a lot of hair in this area — use an electric razor, not a blade razor, to avoid irritating skin and potentially causing skin infection of the hair follicles.
Do not use any bath soap to this skin that contains moisturizers this will leave a residue on the skin and prevent the appliance from adhering well. Always use a skin barrier skin protecting wipe or liquid to the skin and let it dry completely before applying the wafer. Repeat up to 3 times to lay down a thick protecting coating on the skin that will help the appliance stick better at the same time, protecting the skin from all moisture.
Consider using ostomy paste, seals, waxy rings to help fill in any skin folds, or irregular topography of the skin and make the skin as flat and smooth as possible for the wafer to adhere to. If the appliance is leaking, change it. If there is a lot of leftover adhesive from the previous appliance, remove it gently with an adhesive remover wipe, but then use a mild soap and warm water to remove the adhesive remover oily residue completely — and dry completely or the new wafer may not stick!
Typically first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything is the best time to change appliances. If the person has a colostomy and uses drainable pouches, a small amount of vegetable oil may be placed inside the pouch and the pouch rubbed on each side to coat the inside of the pouch lightly before the pouch is applied to the wafer or abdomen.
This will allow formed fecal matter to slide right out of the end when emptying the pouch. If the patient has an ileostomy that has a very active stoma lost of effluent , so that changing the appliance is difficult, and if they are not a diabetic, they may eat 1 or 2 large marshmallows 20 minutes before changing their ileostomy appliance to slow down the effluent temporarily lasts up to 1 hour.
This will help reduce urine odors. At the first sign of any peristomal skin irritation, a person with an ostomy should contact their health care provider and be seen as soon as possible to prevent further skin breakdown, which may make pouching very difficult.
Common Problems for Ostomies The most common problems new ostomates have tend to be related to leaking and peristomal skin irritation, although dehydration especially with ileostomies , surgical site infection, stomal stricture or retraction, stomal granulomas benign growths , and mucocutaneous separation the surgical suture line around the stoma pulls apart may also occur J.
