Submitted by Dr. Raymond Rackley, Professor of Urology, Cleveland Clinic. This video describes a novel technique for creating a catheterizable stoma - The Continent Vesico-Cutaneous Channel (CVC). It is applicable in patients with urinary retention who have difficulties with urethral catheterization, particularly those with neurogenic bladders. The cutaneous channel is marked and incised. The rectus muscle bundles are isolated. A cystotomy is created. The channel is closed, brought between the rectus bundles, and approximated to the cystotomy.
