Yep. Ileal conduit surgery is for the evacuation of urine. Everything else works as advertised.

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.
Ileal conduit is a surgical procedure where a piece of the small intestine (ileum) is used to create a passageway for urine to exit the body. This procedure is typically done after removal of the bladder due to cancer or other conditions. The urine is collected in an external pouch worn on the abdomen.
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.
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.
Yes, the duodenum and ileal mucosa can feel different. The duodenum tends to have more ridges and folds, while the ileal mucosa is smoother and has a thinner consistency. Additionally, the duodenum is closer to the stomach and may have a slightly different texture than the ileum.
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)
Ileal mucosa refers to the inner lining of the ileum, which is the final section of the small intestine located before the large intestine. It plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption and immune function. The ileal mucosa has specialized structures, such as villi and microvilli, that increase its surface area for efficient absorption of nutrients.
There are many causes of overproduction of bile. Some of the main causes include inflammation of the ileal or gastrointestinal diseases.
