Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate that your son is quadriplegic and has no control on urination. This requires certain procedures to drain the urine. The simplest procedure is to have an indwelling urinary catheter (Foley s catheter), but that is also a source of infection, and can not be kept for long. Other option is to learn CIC-clean intermittent catheterization. This can be done by people who have good strength in the arms and hands. However, as your son is quadriplegic, he would have arm weakness also, and he would not be able to f=do the CIC. So, the best option for him is to go for urostomy or a suprapubic cystostomy. Even though it is a surgical procedure, it is safe and can be easily done. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
