Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stoma-An artificial opening between two cavities or canals and the surface of the body. Suprapubic Cystostomy – Surgically created connection between the urinary bladder and the skin just above the pubic bone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definitions: Ostomy-A surgical procedure in which an artificial opening is formed for the purpose of eliminating waste (stool/urine). An ostomy procedure may be performed to correct a congenital disorder, relieve an obstruction, or permit treatment of a severe disease or injury of the urinary or intestinal tract.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nephrostomy is an opening between the kidney and the skin. A nephrostomy tube is a thin plastic tube that is passed from the back, through the skin and then through the kidney, to the point where the urine collects. Its job is to temporarily drain the urine that is blocked.

Detailed explanation-4: -From your two kidneys, two ureters move the urine to the bladder, where it’s stored until you urinate (pee). Urine leaves your body through a hole at the end of your urethra. That hole from the inside to the outside is called the urethral meatus. (The term ‘meatus’ refers to any opening from the inside to the outside.)

Detailed explanation-5: -A urostomy or ileal conduit is a stoma created using a piece of the intestine to divert urine to the outside of the body. The ureters are sewn to a piece of the intestine, brought through the abdominal wall, and sutured to create the stoma.
