What is the main goal of ureteroneocystostomy?

To create a new connection between the ureters and a new bladder
To reroute the urine to the colon
To divert urine externally to a stoma
To remove the ureters

The correct answer is: To create a new connection between the ureters and a new bladder

The main goal of ureteroneocystostomy is to create a new connection between the ureters and a new bladder. This surgical procedure is often performed in cases where the bladder is removed or where the anatomy of the urinary tract is altered due to disease or injury. By establishing this new connection, the procedure allows for normal urine flow from the kidneys through the ureters directly into the bladder, which helps maintain the continuity of the urinary system and preserves kidney function. In performing a ureteroneocystostomy, care is taken to ensure that the new connection is secure and that urine can be effectively transported, minimizing the risk of complications such as hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidneys) or infection. This reconnection is essential for restoring normal urinary function and ultimately contributes to the overall quality of life for the patient following such surgery.
