Ureterolysis is a surgical procedure aimed at exposing the ureter in order to free it from external pressure or adhesions or to avoid injury to it during pelvic surgery, most often hysterectomy. References
Ureteroureterostomies are often performed because of injured or scarred ureters, especially when the ureter in question is damaged in its upper third section. [2] Generally if the patient has distal uretral strictures (narrowing of the ureter), [3] a ureteroureterostomy is not recommended and a ureter reimplantation would be favorable.
A urethrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the male urethra, a tube that connects the urinary bladder to the genitals for the removal of fluids out of the body. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] See also
In bone surgery, a corticotomy is a cutting of the bone that may or may not split it into two pieces (bone fracture) but involves only the cortex, leaving intact the medullary vessels and periosteum. Corticotomy is particularly important in distraction osteogenesis or surgically facilitated orthodontic therapy.

Correction of the bone deformity can typically take 3–4 weeks. For simpler fractures where no deformity is present the struts may still be adjusted post-surgery to achieve better bone alignment, but the correction takes less time. For individuals performing strut adjustment. a hand mirror may be useful to aid in reading the strut settings.

[1] [2] It is used as a temporary measure in the management of a broken bone. [citation needed] Ligamentotaxis is the basis for the use of the external fixator in unstable distal long bone fractures. By applying longitudinal distraction force, the soft tissues surrounding the fracture help mould the bony fragments and facilitate reduction.
