Cystolithotomy is a surgical procedure for the removal of bladder stones. While many bladder stones can be treated with less invasive endoscopic procedures (like cystolitholapaxy, which breaks stones into smaller pieces that are then flushed out), cystolithotomy is typically reserved for larger or more rigid stones that cannot be effectively removed endoscopically.
