Article Description

Failure of percutaneous or endoscopic removal of biliary calculi is often associated with impacted stones or stones larger than 1.5 cm. In these difficult cases, intracorporeal electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) is a method that allows large stones to be fragmented and removed percutaneously or endoscopically. In this study, the authors expand their experience with EHL and further evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique to remove biliary tract calculi.
