Urethrolithotomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove stones (calculi) from the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This procedure is typically indicated when stones cause significant obstruction, pain, or urinary complications. It can be performed through an incision in the urethra or, in some cases, may involve an external approach. Urethrolithotomy is often considered when less invasive methods, such as urethroscopy or lithotripsy, are not effective or feasible.
