Urinary diversion surgery with creation of an ileal conduit involves re-routing urine through a stoma on the abdomen, and the patient will need to learn how to care for the urostomy. Resuming a normal urination pattern is not possible after this surgery, and self-catheterization may not be necessary if an ileal conduit was created. The clarity and volume of urine may be monitored, but is not the primary outcome for this surgery.
