👉 A cystoscopic or colostomic procedure is a surgical procedure that involves inserting a catheter into the abdominal cavity and removing the excess fluid from it. This allows for easier access to the organs and tissues in the abdomen, which can be used as an alternative to open surgery. Cystoscopic colostomy procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia and involve the insertion of a catheter through a small incision made on the abdomen, usually at the umbilicus or iliac fossa.
