In neonates, a common method for creating a urostomy involves using a segment of the small intestine or large intestine to reroute urine. This segment, known as an ileal conduit or colon conduit, is connected to the ureters, while the other end is brought out through the abdominal wall to form a stoma. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires careful post-operative care to ensure proper healing and function.
