Can you live without a urethra?

Yes, you can live without a urethra, the tube that takes urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. However, doctors must create an artificial way for urine to be able to get out of the bladder. Most often, this means a suprapubic (above the pubic bone) incision to create a "hole" and pathway to the bladder where a catheter is placed (and changed periodically) to remove the urine.
