A surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening between the bladder and the rectum to allow urine drainage.
From Greek 'kystis' (bladder) + 'proktos' (anus/rectum) + 'stoma' (mouth/opening). A surgical term combining three anatomical terms.
This obscure procedure was sometimes used historically when other urinary diversions weren't possible, though it's rarely performed today because of complications—the body really isn't designed for mixing those systems!
