Electrohydraulic lithotripsy successfully cleared bile duct stones in 30.2% of patients undergoing laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration.
A total of 53 patients were treated, with 16 requiring electrohydraulic lithotripsy to manage their large bile duct and impacted stones.
The procedure resulted in a median post-operative stay of just one day and limited complications, indicating its safety and effectiveness.
The findings suggest that a single-stage transcystic approach using electrohydraulic lithotripsy may reduce the need for more invasive procedures.
