Urostomy: To answer your question we would need to know the indication for urostomy. Additionally in certain cases a urostomy would not be reversible especially if done for malignancy. Your question would be best answered by your treating urologist.

Yes or not...: If urostomy was done for benign disease and you're willing to cope with the involvement and consequence of its reversal. Known to all, nothing is free; in fact, life is a process of constant struggle to cope with reality, certainty, and uncertainty of daily living for survival, growth, and continuation. So, go to talk, ask, and work with your urologist for a most "reasonable" resolution. Best...
