Urinary diversion is a surgical procedure that reroutes the normal flow of urine from the kidneys to an external pouch or a new internal reservoir. This is often necessary for individuals with conditions such as bladder cancer, severe urinary incontinence, or congenital abnormalities. The procedure can involve creating a stoma, which is an opening on the abdomen, where urine is collected in a bag. There are different types of urinary diversion, including ileal conduit, continent urinary reservoir, and neobladder. Each method has its own benefits and considerations, depending on the patient's health and lifestyle. Proper care and management of the diversion are essential for maintaining health and comfort.
