After clamping the reservoir in neobladder training, what should be the next step?

The correct next step after clamping the reservoir in neobladder training is to open the reservoir catheter and drain the remaining urine. This step is crucial as it ensures that any urine that has accumulated in the neobladder is effectively emptied, which can prevent complications such as urinary retention or infection. Proper drainage is essential for the assessment of bladder function and to maintain comfort for the patient.

While tracking the total volume of fluids consumed, increasing solid food intake, or waiting for an appointment might seem relevant, they do not directly address the immediate necessity of ensuring the neobladder is emptied after clamping has taken place. Effective management of the neobladder during training includes maintaining a clear and timely process around the emptying of urine to promote successful adaptation to neobladder function.
