Before surgery

You may be admitted to hospital a day or two before surgery, this is to make sure you are well enough

to have the operation. Sometimes it is necessary to empty the bowel and make sure it is clean before the

operation takes place, especially if you are having your bladder made bigger. It is cleaned by changing what 

you eat and giving you medicine to empty the bowel (see

bowel preparation leaflet).

After surgery

You will not be able to eat and drink straight away but you should be eating your normal food after a few 

days. Your stay in hospital will usually be for three to five days. After the operation a catheter will stay in the 

bladder through the stoma for four to six weeks.

 A bag will be attached to the catheter so the bladder is 

empty of urine all of the time. This is called being on free drainage.

Four to six weeks after the operation you will need to

come back into hospital for one or two days. You will 

be taught to pass a catheter into the bladder through the Mitrofanoff stoma. This is called catheterisation.

The specialist nurse will help with the first catheterisation. We understand that you may feel worried about

doing this for the first time but catheterising is not usually painful and is quick and easy to perform. Like any 

new skill it just takes practise. Most people catheterise every three to four hours throughout the day but do

not need to catheterise during the night. 

How to catheterise 

Catheterisation via a Mitrofanoff is a clean procedure; you will need a clean or new catheter each time 

you catheterise.

This is how it should be performed

• Wash your hands with soap and water and prepare your catheter the way you have been shown

• Gently push the catheter into the stoma making sure you go far enough into the bladder to start the

urine draining 

• When the urine has stopped draining push the catheter in about a centimetre further to make sure your 

bladder is completely empty 

• Then slowly remove the catheter, twisting it as you do

so 

• Some catheters can be rinsed and stored in a clean container and used again, others will need to be thrown 

away after one use

• Wash your hands again.
