or permanent

attaches one of both ureters via a stoma to the surface attaches one or both
ureters via a stoma to the surface of the abomnal wall.
-Nephrostomy - -an incontinent urinary diversion for which the surgeon
attaches a tube from the renal pelvis via a stoma to the surface of the
abdominal wall
-kock pouch (continent ideal bladder conduit) - -a continent urinary
diversion in which the surgeon forms a reservoir from the ileum. the pouch is
emptied by a clean straight catheterization every 2-3 hours initially, and
every 5term-4-6 hours once the pouch expands to capacity.
-neobladder - -a new bladder created by the surgeon using the ileum that
