ABSTRACT
Extracorporeal lithotripsy was performed in 5 patients whose stones in the main bile duct could not be extracted despite wide endoscopic sphincterotomy, conventional extraction techniques (basket and balloon catheter) and attempts at mechanical lithotripsy. Fragmentation of the stones was obtained in one session in 4 patients. The fragments were spontaneously expelled in 2 patients, while additional endoscopic manoeuvres (mechanical lithotripsy, extraction after installation of a temporary prosthesis) were necessary in the other 2 patients. Failure in the 5th patient was due to the impossibility to focus the point of convergence of the shock wave on the stones. No complication related to the technique was observed.
