Diagnosis & Pre-Surgical Evaluation
- Urological evaluation, cystoscopy, imaging (CT/MRI/ultrasound), urine and blood tests
- Assessment of bladder and kidney function, overall health, and surgical fitness
Pre-Surgery Preparations
- Medication review, fasting, and bowel preparation if needed
- Stoma site marking and counselling on catheterisation and stoma care
- Discussion of surgical approach (open, laparoscopic, or robotic)
Procedure
- Removal of the appendix (or another suitable conduit)
- Creation of a catheterizable channel connecting the bladder to an abdominal stoma
- Formation of a valve at the bladder end to prevent urine leakage
- Placement of a temporary catheter to allow bladder healing and, if needed, ureteral stents to ensure urine flow
Post-Surgical Recovery
- Hospital stay with pain management and gradual return to fluids and diet
- Training in self-catheterisation through the stoma
- Monitoring for complications such as infections, stoma issues, or bladder spasms
Long-Term Follow-Up
- Regular visits to monitor kidney function, stoma health, and electrolyte levels (if irrigation is required)
- Ongoing catheterisation and stoma care guidance
- Severe bladder dysfunction
- Neurogenic bladder
- Congenital urinary tract abnormalities
- Radiation-damaged bladder
- Chronic bladder disease
- Risk of progressive kidney damage
- Patients with severe bladder dysfunction not manageable with medications or less invasive treatments
- Individuals with a neurogenic bladder, causing unsafe urine storage, infections, or kidney damage
- Patients with congenital urinary tract abnormalities affecting normal urine flow
- Individuals with a radiation-damaged bladder leading to poor capacity or incontinence
- Patients with chronic bladder disease for whom other treatments have failed
- Individuals at risk of kidney damage due to impaired urine drainage
- Patients medically fit for surgery who can perform or receive long-term catheterisation through the stoma
- Bladder augmentation (cystoplasty)
- Appendectomy or use of other conduits
- Ureteral reimplantation
- Stoma creation
- Temporary catheter or suprapubic tube placement
- Correction of urethral or bladder anomalies
- Reliable bladder emptying via a stoma that can be catheterised
- Decreased leaking and incontinence of the urine
- Easier self-catheterisation leads to increased independence and quality of life.
- Improved kidney function protection through safe urine drainage
- Long-term efficacy when catheterisation and stoma care are appropriately maintained
- Ability for children and adults to manage bladder emptying independently or with minimal assistance
