Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Randomised prospective studies have shown that single-stage management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis yields results equal or superior to sequential treatment, with a lower incidence of complications primarily associated with choledochotomy. We report the first case of transcystic Holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy using a flexible ureteroscope. The method was found to be a valuable aid in reducing the percentage of choledochotomies when calculi are too large to be retrieved from the common bile duct with normal graspers. |
