What are some problems that can happen if a urostomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several.: A well placed urostomy usually has few complications, but they certainly can occur. Urine on the skin can cause skin irritation & breakdown. The conduit can become infected or blocked by stones or narrowing. The connection to the kidneys can become blocked, or loss of blood supply can cause the conduit to fail. Certain metabolic problems can occur since the conduit can absorb compounds.
