"Nephrosplenopexy" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Nephrosplenopexy is a surgical procedure that combines two operations, nephropexy and splenopexy. Nephropexy is the surgical fixation of a floating kidney, while splenopexy is the fixation of the spleen. Thus, nephrosplenopexy is a procedure that addresses both issues in a single surgical intervention. It is typically performed in cases where the kidney or spleen is not in its normal anatomical position, causing symptoms such as chronic pain, bleeding, or obstruction.
Nephrosclerosis is a medical term that refers to the hardening or scarring of the small blood vessels in the kidneys, usually as a result of high blood pressure or atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels).
