Ileal Conduit Surgery

This digital painting presents a detailed, step-by-step depiction of ileal conduit urinary diversion, a common surgical procedure performed after cystectomy. The illustration highlights the key anatomical structures, surgical techniques, and the final conduit formation with a balance of realism and educational clarity.

Rendered in a rich, yet precise color palette, the painting captures the textures and vascularity of the bowel, ureters, and surrounding tissues. The small bowel segment, repurposed to create the conduit, is shown in cross-section, emphasizing its separation from the intestinal tract while preserving blood supply. The anastomosis of the ureters to the ileal segment is carefully detailed, with a focus on stent placement and secure suturing. The exterior stoma formation is illustrated in a way that clearly conveys its orientation and attachment to the abdominal wall.

Attention is given to lighting, depth, and translucency to create a realistic yet instructional representation, ensuring the work serves as both an artistic piece and a valuable reference for medical professionals, students, and patient education. Labels and subtle callouts can be integrated to enhance clarity without overwhelming the visual flow.

This illustration is designed to bridge artistry and surgical precision, making complex anatomical relationships and procedural steps more accessible for surgical training and medical documentation.
