Cystoelytroplasty

/ˌsɪstoʊˌɛlɪtroʊˈplæsti/ noun

Definition

A surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct the bladder and urethra, restoring normal urinary function.

Etymology

From Greek 'kystis' (bladder) + 'eleytron' (sheath or covering for the urethra) + 'plasty' (surgical repair); this describes surgical reconstruction of bladder-urethra structures.

Kelly Says

Cystoelytroplasty represents a very specialized surgical skill—urologists performing this procedure must have anatomical knowledge more complex than most surgeries because the bladder and urethra work as an integrated system for both storage and release.
