German term or phrase: Harnausgang
Es ging dabei auf Leben und Tod. Er schaffte es, musste aber kastriert werden und ein kuenstlicher Harnausgang wurde ihm gelegt. Er arrangierte sich damit und lebte weiterhin zufrieden.

Comes from a text about a dog who has problems with chronic kidney stones. Not sure if urethra is meant here or something else.

urostomy; (artificial) urine outlet


Explanation:
It's a urostomy - opening created to allow urine to pass out of the body. But since the German doesn't go Latin, Harnausgang in lay lingo is just a urine outlet.
