About Trocar Cystostomy

Trocar cystostomy is a minimally invasive urological procedure performed to create a temporary or long-term opening into the urinary bladder. It involves inserting a specialized hollow needle (trocar) through the lower abdominal wall directly into the bladder, followed by placement of a catheter to drain urine. This procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia by a urologist. It serves as an alternative to standard urethral catheterization when the urethra is blocked, damaged, or when long-term bladder drainage is required. Trocar cystostomy provides immediate relief from urinary retention, helps manage bladder dysfunction, and is often used in emergency settings or for patients with complex urological conditions.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
