There is no physiological reason why having surgery to remove the uterus (Hysterectomy) would prevent or get rid of kidney stones.

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
