Hebrew term or phrase: איסטמוטומיה, פיילוליטוטומיה
It has something to do with kidney stones, maybe types of kidney stones as the sentence before stated that the patient has a horse shoe kidney. After those words it says he had no further stones. I realize these are medical terms written in Hebrew but I cannot find them anywhere written in English.

This is essentially the same answer that Eytan has given you (i.e. it is the same procedure as he describes). Only the nomenclature is a bit more elegant and closer to your original, I feel.

I think it's also possible for:
אי-סטמוטומיה
"non-stemotomy"
...hence the low confidence. Hopefully Eytan or someone else will verify/falsify
