Ureterostomy

A ureterostomy is the creation of a stoma for a ureter or kidney.fr:Urétérostomie Urethra In anatomy, the urethra is a tube which connects the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. The urethra has an excretory function in both genders to pass urine to the outside, and also a reproductive function in the male, as a passage for sperm. The external urethral sphincter is a striated muscle that allows voluntary control over urination. (From the Wikpedia article Ureterostomy.)
