Patients may be directed to a urostomy if their bladder no longer optimally functions or needs to be removed. This can be the case if you’re living with a spinal cord injury or a birth defect like spinal bifida, or are undergoing treatment for bladder cancer.
In recovery and going forward, patients use a urostomy pouch to monitor and manage output. Just as with all ostomy pouches, these systems have a one- or two-piece design.
Urostomy pouches are a type of ostomy system designed to exclusively collect and dispose of urine following this surgical procedure.
Urostomy pouches, in general, safeguard against leaks, help control odors and protect the peristomal skin.
