A surgical operation to remove a stone from the pelvis of the kidney.<\/p>\n

\n

A surgical procedure to remove one or more kidney stones. Pyelolithotomy is major surgery and requires a 4- to 6-week recovery period. This open surgical technique was once performed routinely but now is performed in less than 2 percent of people who require the removal of kidney stones. Pyelolithotomy may become necessary if lithotripsy is not appropriate or has failed. It may also be implemented in people who are obese or have physical abnormalities such as obstructions in the pelvis.<\/p>\n

Surgical removal of a stone from the kidney through an incision made in the pelvis of the kidney. The incision is usually made into the posterior surface of the pelvis (posterior pyelotomy) to gain access to the stone, which can then be lifted clear.<\/p>\n
