Brief Explanations
- "choledocholith" refers to a stone in the common bile - duct and "otripsy" means crushing. So, choledocholithotripsy is the crushing of a stone in the common bile duct. "abdominoplasty" is related to abdominal plastic surgery, "enterorrhaphy" is suture of the intestine, and "choledocholithotomy" is incision of the common bile - duct to remove a stone.
- "cheil" refers to the lips and "orrhaphy" means suture. So, cheilorrhaphy means suture of the lips. It has nothing to do with the anus, tongue, or excision of a diverticulum.
