what type of ostomy do you do for urine
An ostomy is a surgically created. opening in the abdomen for. the discharge of body waste. Ostomies that discharge urine. are urostomies. After the ostomy. is created, you will expel or. release urine through a stoma. Your stoma is the end of the small. or large intestine that can be. seen protruding or sticking out.
Other types of urostomy include nephrostomy (urine is diverted directly from the kidney to a stoma) and cystostomy (urine is diverted from the bladder to a stoma). Publication Review By: Stanley J. Swierzewski, III, M.D.
