Calicotomy

Calicotomy is a surgical procedure performed on the kidneys to treat various diseases. It involves cutting the renal calyces, which are part of the urinary system.

The renal calyces are small cavities in the kidneys that serve to collect urine from the ureters and remove it from the body. During a calicotomy, the surgeon cuts the calices of the kidneys, which reduces the pressure of urine on the kidney tissue and reduces the risk of complications such as swelling and inflammation.

Calicotomy can be performed for both acute and chronic kidney diseases. It can help in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, urolithiasis and other diseases.

After a calicotomy, complications may occur, such as bleeding, infection, damage to the kidney tissue or urinary tract. Therefore, before surgery, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and choose the appropriate treatment method.

Overall, calicotomy is an effective treatment for kidney disease and can help improve patients' quality of life. However, before the operation you should consult a doctor and undergo the necessary examination.
