Mitrofanoff principle
In urology, the Mitrofanoff principle is the creation of a passageway for urine or enema fluid that, by its (surgical) construction, has a valve mechanism to allow continence.[1]
Procedures which make use of the Mitrofanoff principle:

gollark: Especially if the good post-quantum ones are significantly resource-hungrier somehow.
