Yep. Ileal conduit surgery is for the evacuation of urine. Everything else works as advertised.
Ileal conduit
Alan D. Perlmutter has written: 'Your child and ileal conduit surgery' -- subject(s): Children, Ileal conduit surgery, Surgery
Images of ileal conduit urinary system can be found in any good Urology or urological diversions book, including 'Fecal and Urinary Diversions' by Colwell, Goldbery and Carmel, 2012.
No. The created pouch is drained through a stoma.
An ileal conduit is a surgical procedure, where a small urine reservoir is created from a segment of a bowel and is placed just under the abdominal wall. The end of the ileum is brought out through an opening in the abdominal wall to drain the urine gathered in the reservoir. This opening is called a stoma. The patient wears a bag over the stoma to collect the urine. The bag adheres to the body (over the soma) using an adhesive disk (wafer or flange).
After a radical cystectomy, the number one question is reconstruction and what kind one might consider. Some patients are better suited to the ileal conduit reconstruction and others may do better with an orthotopic neobladder. In most, but not all radical cystectomies performed for transitional cell carcinoma, a regional lymphadenectomy is performed. If this was not done, you may want to ask if the lymphadenectomy is indicated at a later date. It may not have been done if you underwent the cystectomy for adenocarcinoma of the prostate or other types of cancer. The second consideration would be ensuring that all surgical margins were clear. When the surgical pathology comes back to your surgeon, you will want to ensure that no residual malignancy remains. If all the cancer was not removed, further surgery or radiation may be warranted. Lastly, continence and alternatively urinary retention may be issues post-operatively. You will likely leave the hospital with a suprapubic cystostomy, which can become clogged after surgery. With time, this issue will clear up.
what is ilial mucosa
In an ileal conduit urostomy, a surgically created opening in the abdomen diverts urine from the ureters to a stoma, usually formed from a segment of the small intestine (ileum). The diverted urine is collected in an external pouch worn over the stoma.
An ileal loop is an artificial bladdar made from a piece of your intestine. It is used to hold and drain urine after your bladdar has been removed. (Usually because of bladdar cancer)
There are many causes of overproduction of bile. Some of the main causes include inflammation of the ileal or gastrointestinal diseases.
Of course. I had my surgery 8 years ago and I swim in pools and also in saltwater. it won't hurt a thing although it may shorten the life of the adhesive on the ostomy pouch system. For this reason I recommend though that you cover the barrier with waterproof plastic first aid tape as it may help to get the full life out of the urostomy bag system (they cost about $10 each, so dont' want to waste any).
