An ileal conduit, also called a. urostomy, is a way to redirect urine. to drain through a small opening. in the abdomen called a âstomaâ. During surgery, a short piece of. the small intestine (ileum) is. connected to the ureters.
Ileus (paralytic ileus, adynamic ileus) is temporary absence of the normal contractile movements of the intestinal wall. Abdominal surgery and drugs that interfere with the intestineâs movements are a common cause. Bloating, vomiting, constipation, cramps, and loss of appetite occur. The diagnosis is made by x-ray. People are given nothing to eat or drink, and a thin suction tube is passed through the nose into the stomach. Like an obstruction (blockage) of the intestines, ileus prevents the passage of intestinal contents. Unlike a mechanical obstruction, though, ileus rarely leads to rupture. Ileus commonly occurs for 24 to 72 hours after abdominal surgery, particularly when the intestines have been manipulated.
