Lower urinary tract obstruction in mice can lead to end-stage renal disease and death. We have developed a surgical technique to create a cutaneous vesicostomy in mice providing an external outlet for drainage of urine, thereby relieving the obstruction and slowing and/or preventing the development of end-stage renal disease and death.
