Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy in 111 Patients: A Safe and Effective Therapy for Difficult Bile Duct Stones

Abstract

EHL via peroral endoscopic choledochoscopy is a highly successful and safe technique for use in the management of difficult choledocholithiasis and intrahepatic stones. This study has shown a stone fragmentation rate of 96% (89 of 93 patients), and a final stone clearance rate of 90% (85 of 94 patients).
