Can a hepatic hemangioma and a kidney stone be operated on at the same time?

Normally, kidney stone surgery and surgery for hepatic hemangioma cannot be performed at the same time. The most common surgical procedures for kidney stones are transurethral ureteral lithotripsy, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. Hepatic hemangiomas are usually treated with laparoscopic hemangiectomy, partial hepatectomy, or non-surgical procedures such as hepatic artery embolization. In general, the two cannot be performed at the same time, because on the one hand, they belong to the urological and digestive diseases, and the surgical approaches chosen are very different, so they cannot be performed at the same time. Furthermore, liver surgery is considered sterile, while urologic surgery is potentially contaminated and cannot be performed at the same time. In addition, simultaneous surgeries on both parts of the body can cause severe stress to the patient, which is not conducive to postoperative recovery.
