nephrolithotomy
Kidney stone removal
Nephrolithotomy is the surgical removal of kidney stones through an incision in the kidney.
The procedure is typically reserved for large stones that cannot pass naturally or be broken up by less invasive methods: The urologist recommended a nephrolithotomy after the lithotripsy failed.
