Explanation:

Analyze the first question

The first question asks for the term meaning "the surgical suturing of the bladder."

• The word root for bladder is cyst/o (derived from Urinary System Terminology).
• The suffix for surgical suturing is -rrhaphy (derived from Surgical Suffixes).
• Combining these components yields cystorrhaphy.
• Let's evaluate the other options:
• cystorrhexis: rupture of the bladder (-rrhexis means rupture).
• cystorrhagia: bleeding from the bladder (-rrhagia means rapid flow of blood).
• nephrorrhaphy: surgical suturing of a kidney (nephr/o means kidney).

Analyze the second question

The second question asks for the term meaning "the freeing of a kidney from adhesions."

• The word root for kidney is nephr/o (derived from Urinary System Terminology).
• The suffix meaning destruction, separation, or freeing is -lysis (derived from Medical Suffixes).
• Combining these components yields nephrolysis.
• Let's evaluate the other options:
• anuria: absence of urine formation (an- means without, -uria means urination).
• pyelonephritis: inflammation of the renal pelvis and kidney.
• nephrolithiasis: presence of stones in the kidney.
