Sentences with LITHOLAPAXY (2)
Bigelow of Boston has lately been highly commending a method which he has called Litholapaxy, in which, at one sitting under chloroform, the stone is crushed and aspirated, or sucked out of the bladder at once.[152] Since the above was written the operation of Litholapaxy has made great strides in the favour of surgeons, and many stones that would have been removed by lithotomy are now broken down by powerful instruments at a single sitting, and removed piecemeal by the suction apparatus.
The two stages are now carried out at one "sitting," without an interval being allowed between them, as was formerly the practice, and the term "litholapaxy" designates this method.
