Surgery; its theory and practice . Parts cut in lithotomy. (Fergusons .Surgery.) in front of the membraneous portion of the urethra (Fig 335).Now run the knife with the i)oint pressed firmly in the grooveonwards into the bladder, keeping its blade well lateralized, i. e., LATERAL LITHOTOMY. 693 Fig. ^36. directed downwards and to the left. Take care not to depress thehandle too much for fear of cutting the prostate too widely, norto hold it too horizontal lest the point slip out of the groove andpenetrate the tissues between the bladder and the rectum. Havingentered the bladder, shghtly enlarge the wound in the prostate inwithdrawing the knife, and pass the left forefinger, which is in thewound, onwards along the staff into the bladder. If the stone isfelt by the finger, ask the assistant to withdraw the staff. Takethe forceps in the right hand, pass them along the left forefingertowards the bladder, and, on with-drawing the finger, open the blades,and the stone will probably be drivenby the gush of urine between them.
