What is caliectasia?
Caliectasia would mean a dilatation of the calyx, that part of the kidney's urine collecting system. Dilatation would mean there may be an obstructive or non-obstructive cause.

If I had a kidney stone episode while at work and had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital Can my company force me to take a drug screen for a non-workman's comp related issue like that?
In Canada no! Your medical history is under the protection act. All your doctor has to do is send them a letter stating you have a kidney stone or have passed a kidney stone and will either not or will have surgery. If your employers keep hounding you then report them to Workers Comp., or Labor Relations. Also a lawyer if needed. Generally the company will back off.

What is pyelolithotomy?
Pyelolithotomy is a surgical procedure to make an incision through the side and back to get to and open the kidney to remove a calculus from inside the kidney. A calculus is also sometimes called a "stone", this would be surgery to open the kidney to remove a kidney stone that is too large to pass through the urinary system and can not be treated with lithotripsy (a non-surgical method, often ultrasonic, to break the stone into tiny, even sand-like, pieces so the pieces can be passed through the urinary system), or that can not be treated with other less-invasive surgical procedures.Open procedures like pyelolithotomy or pyelolithectomy used to be the only way to treat large kidney stones that wouldn't pass, and they are major surgeries with extremely long recovery times. They are rarely done today with the other options now available through advanced medical technology.EtymologyPyelolithotomy:pyelo = kidneylith = calculus, stoneotomy = to cut into, to cut openPyelolithectomy (an older term used less often) :ectomy = cutting out something, or cutting open and removing something
