ileal conduit

The first features the creation of a passage called an "ileal conduit."

This opening is smaller than the opening for an ileal conduit.

An ileal conduit uses a piece of your small intestine to make a tube.

Two openings at the front of the bucket create space for the colostomy bag and the ileal conduit.

After the bladder has been removed, an Ileal conduit urinary diversion is necessary.

Or the surgeon may make an artificial opening, called an ileal conduit, and you will wear a flat bag to store urine outside your body.

However, it is still popular in developing countries as the maintenance of an ileal conduit or a catheter is seen to be more difficult.

This operation is no longer popular in many countries, with an ileal conduit (where the ureters lead into a loop of small intestine) being preferred.

Donor to native ureteroureterostomy in a patient with preexisting ileal conduit during renal transplantation.

Ileal conduit urostomy, also known as "Bricker's loop."

Urostomy (also see Ileal conduit urinary diversion)

Some patients, after having had an ileal conduit, requiring an external appliance, have opted to have the Indiana pouch, as elective surgery.

You may have a pouch inside your body (continent reservoir or continent diversion) or wear a bag outside your body (ileal conduit or noncontinent diversion).

An ileal conduit (also called a noncontinent diversion) uses a segment of your intestine to create a channel that connects your ureters to a surgically created opening (stoma) on your abdomen.

An ileal conduit urinary diversion is a surgical technique usually referred to as the Bricker ileal conduit after its inventor, Eugene M. Bricker.

To create an ileal conduit, the ureters are surgically resected from the bladder and a ureteroenteric anastomosis is made in order to drain the urine into a detached section of ileum (a part of the small intestine).

Another and very effective use of an ileal conduit is for systemic isolation of a kidney transplant, often due to bladder nephropathy that may pose an unacceptable risk of reflux and thus infection or obstruction, into the transplanted organ.

Tumors that infiltrate the bladder require more radical surgery where part or all of the bladder is removed (a cystectomy) and the urinary stream is diverted into an isolated bowel loop (called an ileal conduit or Urostomy).

Advantages of the procedure In contrast to other urinary diversion techniques, such as the Ileal conduit urinary diversion, the Indiana pouch has the advantage of not using an external pouch adhered to the abdomen to store urine.

In such patients, a bowel loop is often used to create either a "neo-bladder" or an "ileal conduit" which act as a place for the storage of urine before it is evacuated from the body either via the urethra or a urostomy respectively.

These infection stones are commonly observed in people who have factors that predispose them to urinary tract infections, such as those with spinal cord injury and other forms of neurogenic bladder, ileal conduit urinary diversion, vesicoureteral reflux, and obstructive uropathies.
