A surgical procedure that creates an opening between the bladder and the colon, allowing waste to bypass normal urinary or bowel pathways.
From Greek 'kystis' (bladder) + 'kolon' (colon) + 'stoma' (mouth or opening); the '-stomy' suffix appears in many surgical procedures and means creating a new opening.
Cystocolostomy is a rare and complex surgery that's usually only performed when someone has damage to both bladder and bowel function from cancer treatment or severe injury, representing one of the most creative solutions in reconstructive urology.
