cut made in bone.

(osteo=bone; tomy=to cut) cutting of the bones. In the bladder exstrophy population, osteotomies are used to help reconstruct the pelvic bones and the pelvic floor which removes tension from the abdominal wall and bladder closure thereby aiding in the success of the exstrophy reconstruction. The three bones of the pelvic bone are the ishium, the ilium and the pubic. In exstrophy surgery, iliac and pubic osteotomies are commonly performed.
