The opening lets urine drain out of the bladder.</li> <li>A vesicostomy is usually a temporary solution to allow urine to drain from the bladder for babies and very young children.</li> <li>Your child will need to have an anaesthetic. Your child will stay in the hospital two to three days after the surgery.</li> <li>The stoma needs to be dilated using a catheter each day. This will stretch the skin around the stoma and make sure it stays open enough for urine to drain out.</li> </ul><h2>The surgery takes about one hour</h2> <p>After the surgery, your child will spend one or two hours in the hospital's recovery room. After that, your child will return to the hospital's Urology Unit. </p> <p>A child will usually stay in hospital for two or three days after surgery.</p><h2>Managing your child's pain</h2> <p>At first, your child will receive pain medication, usually <a href="/Article?contentid=194&language=English">morphine</a>, through an intravenous (IV) line. As your child recovers, they will take <a href="/Article?contentid=62&language=English">acetaminophen</a> or <a href="/Article?contentid=110&language=English">codeine</a> by mouth to manage the pain. By the time your child goes home, they should not need pain medication any more. </p> <h2>After the operation</h2> <p>Your child will have an intravenous line (IV). An IV is a thin tube that lets us give liquids and medicines directly into your child's veins. Your child will have the IV in place until they are drinking well. </p> <p>Your child may have a small amount of bleeding at the place where the cut was made.</p> <h2>Dilating the stoma</h2> <p>The opening on your child's belly is called the stoma. It usually needs to be dilated (stretched) each day, sometimes several times a day. The dilation stretches the skin around the stoma. This makes sure that it stays open enough for urine to drain out. Dilations are done with a catheter. </p> <p>Your child's nurse will teach you how to do these dilations. Your doctor will let you know how often they need to be done at home and for how long. </p> <h2>Your child's skin</h2> <p>You will need to pay special attention to the condition of your child's skin after surgery. The nurse will show you how to diaper your child. This will make sure the urine is absorbed and your child's clothing is protected. Once you are home, your child can have a bath as usual. </p><h2>At SickKids</h2> <h3>Supporting your child</h3> <p>When preparing your child for an operation, the urology team recommends that whenever possible, your child and family members attend the Pre-Admission Program offered at SickKids.

Cette ouverture est pratiquée dans l'abdomen (ventre), juste sous le nombril.</p><p>L'ouverture laisse couler l'urine et l'empêche de rester emprisonnée dans la vessie. Si l'urine demeure dans la vessie, elle peut remonter aux reins et les endommager. L'urine stagnante peut aussi causer des infections. </p><p>Les cystostomies sont habituellement faites sur des bébés et des enfants très jeune. Une cystostomie est habituellement temporaire. Plus tard, le médecin de votre enfant décidera d'une solution permanente pour drainer la vessie de votre enfant. </p> <figure class="asset-c-100"><span class="asset-image-title">Cystostomie</span><img src="https://assets.aboutkidshealth.ca/akhassets/Vesicostomy_MED_ILL_FR.jpg" alt="La vessie avec cystostomie dans un bébé et l’emplacement de la stomie et du nombril" /><figcaption class="asset-image-caption">Une cystostomie est une opération où l'on pratique une incision allant de la vessie à l'abdomen, et prenant fin juste en dessous du nombril. L'ouverture permet à l'urine de s'écouler de la vessie.</figcaption></figure><h2>​À retenir</h2><ul><li>Une cystostomie est une intervention chirurgicale au cours de laquelle on crée un petit tunnel qui part de la vessie et va jusqu’à l’abdomen, juste en-dessous du nombril. Cette ouverture permet à l’urine de s’écouler à l’extérieur de la vessie.<br></li><li>Une cystostomie est habituellement une solution temporaire qui permet d’évacuer l’urine à l’extérieur de la vessie chez les bébés et les très jeunes enfants.</li><li>Votre enfant devra être mis sous anesthésie et devra rester à l’hôpital deux à trois jours après l’intervention.</li><li>La stomie doit être dilatée tous les jours à l’aide d’un cathéter afin d’étirer la peau autour de la stomie pour s’assurer que cette dernière reste suffisamment ouverte pour que l’urine soit évacuée. </li></ul><h2>L'opération prend environ une heure</h2> <p>Après l'opération, votre enfant passera une à deux heures dans la salle de réveil de l'hôpital, après quoi il retournera à l'unité d'urologie. </p> <p>Un enfant demeurera habituellement à l'hôpital deux à trois jours après l'opération. </p><h2>Gestion de la douleur de votre enfant</h2> <p>Au début, votre enfant recevra des médicaments contre la douleur, habituellement de la morphine, au moyen d'un cathéter intraveineux (IV). Quand votre enfant commencera à se rétablir, on lui donnera de l'acétaminophène (Tylenol) ou de la codéine à prendre par voie orale pour gérer la douleur. Quand votre enfant sera à la maison, il ne devrait plus avoir besoin de médicaments contre la douleur. </p> <h2>Après l'opération</h2> <p>Votre enfant aura un cathéter intraveineux (IV). Un IV est un petit tube qui nous permet d'administrer des liquides et des médicaments directement dans les veines de votre enfant. Votre enfant portera l'IV jusqu'à ce qu'il boive bien. </p> <p>Il se peut que le site de l'incision saigne un peu.</p> <h2>Dilatation de la stomie</h2> <p>On appelle stomie l'ouverture pratiquée dans le ventre de votre enfant. Elle doit habituellement être dilatée (étirée) tous les jours, parfois plusieurs fois par jour. La dilatation étire la peau autour de la stomie, ce qui fait en sorte que l'ouverture reste assez grande pour que l'urine puisse s'écouler. Les dilatations se font au moyen d'un cathéter. </p> <p>L'infirmièr de votre enfant vous montrera comment faire ces dilatations, et votre médecin vous indiquera la fréquence à laquelle elles doivent être faites et pendant combien de temps. </p> <h2>La peau de votre enfant</h2> <p>Vous devrez porter une attention particulière à l'apparence de la peau de votre enfant après l'opération. L'infirmière vous dira comment installer les couches, pour faire en sorte que l'urine soit absorbée et que les vêtements de votre enfant soient protégés. Une fois que vous serez à la maison, votre enfant pourra prendre un bain comme à l'habitude. </p><h2>À l'hôpital SickKids</h2><h3>Soutien à votre enfant</h3><p>Quand vous préparerez votre enfant pour une opération, l'équipe d'urologie recommande que dans la mesure du possible, votre enfant et les membres de sa famille participent au programme préalable à l'admission à Sick Kids.
