This is probably a dumb question, but since it's the bladder that is involved will the stoma, will it just be emptying urine or also bowel movements?

Unless there are other complications it will just be urine. However,the stoma will be made from a piece if the small intestine so it will always contribute bacteria to the urine. Hygiene is most important..
