Lithotomy

Lithotomy from Greek for "lithos" and "tomos", is a surgical method for removal of calculi, stones formed inside certain hollow organs, such as the kidneys, bladder, and gallbladder, that cannot exit naturally through the urinary system or biliary tract. The procedure, which is usually performed by means of a surgical incision, differs from lithotripsy, wherein the stones are crushed either by a minimally invasive probe inserted through the exit canal, or by an acoustic pulse, which is a non-invasive procedure.
