Other forms of therapeutic catheterization and cannulation: Therapeutic drainage of urinary organs: Other
A tube was inserted into your urinary organs.
The urinary organs include organs that form urine or excrete it from the body. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.
The tube is normally used to drain accumulated urine. The tube can be inserted into the urinary organs through a small incision in the skin. It may also be inserted through the urethra. The tube may drain into a collection bag outside the body. It is also possible for the tube to connect the urinary organs inside the body.
