A calculus lodged in the area of the hilum refers to a stone that is located in the area where the ureter joins the renal pelvis (the hilum). The procedure of choice to remove this type of stone is pyelolithotomy, which involves making an incision into the kidney and removing the stone. Cystoscopy, orchiectomy, and urethrotomy are not indicated for this type of stone.
