Cystotomy

This wasn't this poor boy's first bladderstone removal surgery. The X-rays are cool because not only is there a lot of stones in his bladder, but there is more in his urethra. The one picture is of the bladder after the stones were removed and it was stitched back together. The vile contains the stones we removed. They have to be careful when stitching to not go completely through the bladder wall because then it can cause infections and possibly more bladder stones. The doctor also pointed out to be that this stitch is one of her favorites because of how the final product looks.
