Cystostomy of the bladder

Cystostomy is a device that is a hollow tube for draining urine from the bladder. The difference between the cystostomy and the catheter is that the urinary catheter is inserted into the cavity of the bladder through the urethral canal, and the cystostomy through the abdominal wall.

Cystostoma is used to drain fluid from the bladder into the urine receiver in cases when it is impossible to urinate independently, and the use of a urethral catheter for some reason can not be performed.

The main indications for the installation of cystostomy in women are:

Installation and care of cystostomy

The cystostom is placed in the bladder with trocar access. Cystostomy is performed on a full bladder, under anesthesia, through a small incision in the anterior abdominal wall just above the symphysis in women.

The established cystostomy requires care: replacement at least once a month and regular washing of the bladder through the cystostomy. 2 times a week in the bladder cavity it is necessary to inject the antiseptic solution through the cystostomy to the state of "pure water".

To ensure that the bladder does not forget to work with the cystostomy, the patient should conduct a training session: drink diuretic teas and try to write naturally.

Complications of cystostomy

Possible complications during the installation and use of cystostomy are:

Cystostoma causes unpleasant sensations and serves as an excuse for depression, but it helps to save the life and health of a woman when there is no other choice.
