Zusammenfassung:Ureteral bypass devices and procedures for performing internalized urinary diversions within patients. Such a procedure includes implanting a first catheter and securing a distal end of the first catheter within the renal pelvis or ureter of a patient, implanting a cystostomy catheter through and securing a distal end of the cystostomy catheter within the urinary bladder of the patient, fluidically connecting proximal ends of the first and cystostomy catheters to an adapter, and then subcutaneously implanting a sampling/flushing port and fluidically connecting a proximal end of the sampling/flushing port to the adapter via a third catheter to yield an artificial ureteral bypass device, in which the first and cystostomy catheters are fluidically connected together and fluidically connected to the subcutaneously-placed sampling/flushing port.
