This operation requires time and patience, since as a rule it is not possible to encompass the entire calculus with the forceps. That is, the narrowness of the neck of the bladder prevents the sufficiently wide opening of the forceps. The .stone con- sequently must be gradually broken off at its periphery and the individual pieces of calculus removed. The character of the surface of the stone has an evident bearing upon the practicability of lithotripsy. When this operation is , the operative dilation.
