B
An ileal conduit is a surgical procedure to aid with urine removal. It will produce a steady output of urinary drainage. This procedure isolates the ileum from the fecal stream so there will not be any output of feces. A continent urinary diversion contains a pouch for urinary storage, which will cause an intermittent stream of urinary drainage.
