title: Litholapaxy: a fading art.
abstract: The bladder stones in 45 patients were treated with tactile litholapaxy over a period of 3 years. The overall success rate was 91.1%. The associated urological lesions like enlarged prostate, bladder neck contracture and urethral stricture could be safely dealt with simultaneously with litholapaxy in one sitting which was advantageous to the patient as well as to the surgeon.
