Surgical Endoscopy, 11/02/09
Swahn F et al. – Final stone clearance after EHL or ILL treatment with or without additional conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was achieved for 34 (77%) of 44 patients. The results for 10 patients (23%) were defined as failures. Complete or partial stone fragmentation and definitive duct clearance were achieved in one session for 23 patients (52%). A second EHL or ILL attempt made in five cases of primary failure led to definitive stone clearance in three cases. Two patients experienced perioperative complications (stone basket impaction). Mild post–ERCP pancreatitis occurred for one patient and cholangitis for two patients. During long–term follow–up evaluation, recurrent CBD stones were found in one patient.
