What is a "lithotomy"?
A lithotomy is a surgical procedure for removing a stone from the kidney, bladder, or urinary system. This procedure involves making a cut in the bladder, ureter, or affected organ to access and remove the stone. It is performed to relieve symptoms caused by the stone, such as pain, urinary blockage, or infections. A lithotomy may involve using specialized tools to break up the stone if necessary and safely extract it from the urinary system. After the procedure, patients are monitored for recovery and to ensure proper urinary function.
