Solution

The correct answer is d. prostatolithotomy. This term refers to a surgical procedure where a stone in the prostate gland is removed. The term is broken down into "prostato-" (referring to the prostate gland), "-lith" (referring to a stone), and "-otomy" (referring to a surgical incision or removal). Therefore, the surgeon who incised the prostate gland to remove a stone performed a prostatolithotomy.
